A few pictures from the first 2 days in Nyeri

Two goat herders and their brother. We met them on the roadside.

Tim and Fr. JB by our shower. OK, maybe not “our” shower.

 This is our coffee maker though. Seriously.

  This is the first class of students we met with. So polite.

 The are the “Little Flowers”. They live in the compound and cooked dinner for Tim and me our first night…..

 This is the “Little Flowers” goat. He used to have a brother. We had him for dinner last night. Seriously. Now we feel we better replace him with another goat. More on that later……

 Survival is a way of life here. But they still find a way to smile.

 This is her brother. He wouldn’t smile and seemed scared. Until I pointed the camera at him and said “say cheese”. I’m sure he was laughing “with” me and not “at” me…….

 You don’t think he was laughing at me when I said I could pick faster than both he AND his sister…….
