I recently came home from a trip to Nairobi, Kenya. I went to explore some options at the International School of Kenya in the heart of Kenya. Amazingly beautiful school. I had a wonderful time. An old colleague of mine from last year is currently teaching there. Strong, beautiful, independent, pretty much everything I feel like I am lacking, this woman possesses. She hosted me in her house and we had a wonderful time. Another teacher from the school came along on a whim…and it seems as if it was fortuitous for her because she got the job she interviewed for while there!
Anyway, while in Kenya, we went away for a beautiful weekend to a couple of “soda lakes” just west of Nairobi. I had seen Lake Nakuru before when we had traveled through from Egypt for a “quick safari” during Christmas time of 2005/06. It was great to see how the population of the different wildlife changes from time to time.
So, the picture above is from this trip. I am planning on uploading some of my sketches soon, but until then, here is one of my pics. The picture above is a beautiful giraffe at the giraffe center….amazing!

These animals are the very rare rothschild giraffe. The people at the center are breeding them (naturally) and then introducing the offspring into the wild. It is really an amazingly special place, one I will revisit next time I am in Nairobi for sure!
