The Journey Begins

         After two days of traveling, little sleep, three countries and a smelly plane ride, we have finally arrived in Kenya! We have one more day to get over our jet lag before we start on the first big leg of our adventure. Tomorrow we start our trek up Mt. Kenya. The four of us will be hiking up the third largest peak of of Mt. Kenya, which is the second highest mountain in Africa. We will leave Nairobi early tomorrow morning to begin the first day of our four day hike.
         Nairobi, like any other city around lunch time, is buzzing with activity. As I sit in our hotel room and look out the window on to a world totally new to me, I find myself itching to get out and meet the Kenyan people and experience life in Kenya. Though we will not have the opportunity to explore Nairobi I know that we will get our chance to immerse ourselves in the Kenyan Culture as soon as we get to Kisumu. Keep us all in your prayers over the next few days as we set out on the first leg of our adventure, to go beyond the clouds and into the past, to the roof of Kenya.
