worth it

Today Kaleigh and I went on a grand adventure.
Well, the last few days have been adventure after adventure.

We went to visit some of the other boys and ended up walking on what you would think a typical African road would look like.
We passed a plethora of maize, hunts made out of poop, naked children bathing in a water bank and the works.
For real. It was epic.
Not to mention we crossed a bridge over water that is filled with hippos. Top that.
Then we got to the town the older boys live in and there are no cement roads.
It is straight up dirt all around.

Today we went to Nivasha to take Micheal to school.
But... mostly to see the other 20 boys that go to school with him.
We spent 8 hours in a matutu.
It took like 5 hours to get there between 3 matatus and one taxi.
Was it worth it?
Oh heck yes.
We spent like 30 minutes with the boys
And then we had to leave so it would not get dark while we are traveling.
You know... safety first. Especially in Africa.
The ride home was a lot quicker.

On the drive Kaleigh got to see her first real African wildlife.
That is kind of a lie because she has seen a monkey in town and a crazy lizard.
This time we saw a plethora of zebra just chilling on the side of the road.
I love zebras. I have seen millions. I swear.
I just cannot get enough of them.
I hope to see millions more.
