This was a busy (and good!) week featuring a two-day getaway for all of us on Thursday and Friday. ISK has two-day trips at the beginning of the year for each high school class; the idea is to help each class gel at the beginning of the year, and activities are geared around team-building and relationship-building. It is a great idea, and both Hannah and Cora had a fabulous time with their classes. Cora went off to climb Mount Longonot and hike in Hell's Gate National Park; Hannah went to a wilderness camp south of the city to go rock climbing; and Brian and I went with the grade 10 class to Sagana, a wilderness area north of the city, where we did some white water kayaking (the group photo, above, shows the teaching team that accompanied the grade 10 group). Saturday saw a return to Karen to visit the kitties at the KSPCA, take a tour of the Kazuri Bead Factory (and of course another visit to the shop) and then to engage in a search to order bookshelves and desks from roadside furniture builders on the Ngong Road. It is such a colourful stretch of road! Handpainted signs, vendors and the sound of hammers and welding torches blend with free range goats and busy traffic. The bird sighting of the weekend involved a small flock of cinnamon-chested bee eaters just outside our apartment building. They are extremely beautiful.
