Trip to Kenya


We flew back into South Africa on June 20, and about two weeks later we hopped on another plane to head to Kenya for six days. We attended a conference with colleagues who work throughout East Africa. We haven't visited that part of the continent yet (except when I [Mary Beth] was a kid) so it was good to visit a different part of Africa and learn about the work there. 

Nairobi is a big, bustling capital city, but drove up a mountain to a conference center built in the middle of tea plantations. It was a kind of damp and dreary, but still beautiful.


Kylie celebrated her third birthday while we were there. We had a little party for her in Johannesburg before we left, so her real birthday was kind of low key. But we did save a few presents for her to open and tried to make it a special day. It's hard to believe our little girl is getting so big!
