Kenya Photo Dump

Well, we had a pretty amazing couple of weeks. We spent the first few days in the Rift Valley around the area in which I was teaching, seeing the schools and some old friends. We then headed to the coast to Lamu for a week of relaxation before finishing off with three nights in the Masai Mara. We had just missed the great wildebeast migration, but we were lucky enough to see a cheetah catch a gazell. We also got charged at by elephants who were grazing in our camp and about 6 of us had to take refuge in our tent while we waited for them to finish eating and head off.
