- Hiking down into a crater on the side of a mountain
- Starting a "hikers for Jesus" club and climbing 4 mountains in one afternoon. That's right, I said 4! I think it was pure adrenaline that got us through it
- Playing Ultimate Frisbee with the high school boys after school with cows grazing on the sidelines
- Caving under a forest Indiana Jones style. The scenery seriously could have come out of a movie, and the 7 of us spent most of the hike writing the movie plot in this horror film, and which of us would actually make it out alive
- Hippo Safari on Lake Nevasha - which led us to an island where we roamed casually on foot with the giraffe, zebras, gazelles, camels, and wildabeast
- Running laps on the road in a skirt. Yes, skirts are required... everywhere
- Spending 4 days unbraiding 300 mini braids out of my hair. I'm back to normal as of Friday - one month without washing my hair is pretty impressive, I think
- singing disney songs in the back of a Mutatu as the bumps send us flying half way out the window
- Buying a bunny for 50 shillings (about $0.80), naming him Pickles, and watching the boys take their one attempt every night to spear him
- Praying with a man for salvation, and in return him promising me 1 slaughtered goat from his flock on my next visit
- watching Pirates of the Caribbean on a projector screen in the dining hut. We brought in all of our matresses and made jiko fresh popcorn to fully experience movie night
- Playing in an intense futbol match between the mzungus (white people) and the school kids in the mud after a rain storm and high enough in the mountains to watch the clouds pass directly overhead
that's all I can think of for the moment. but it's only been two weeks, you can count on more stories to come!
