After having my license endorsed to drive big vehicles in Kenya and a half an hour of instruction I got behind the wheel of the bus with 42 people in it and roared along at the paltry speed of 80 Km/h. I have toContinue reading “The BIG Bus”

Wow, we made it.

We had a long layover in London which we have blogged about in a separate post. Continue reading “Kenyan Arrival!”
Harmondsworth Hall
Unlike most of our flights in the past we had a long layover this time in London. Twenty two hours to be exact.

It is a little like being in the book Where’s Waldo! Since school ended for the kids, we are finding ourselves in so many different places.

Kenya on Our Minds “Ella isn’t telling the truth! She hasn’t ridden on the roof of a car and chased zebras.” Boy in Ella’s playschool Indeed Ella has.

You know you are Canadian when …
