Ngong Hills, cont.


As usual, Richard used his long arms to get a picture of us at the top.

Then we posed for a more proper shot. It was so windy, though, that my hair just kept flying all over the place!

Por que Un Poquito....

I've been inspired to join by a very shy friend who has put herself out there in the blogging world. I figure if she can do it, so can I, especially since shy is not a word many would use to describe me. Gracias , Shari! I've titled my blog Un Poquito . Why? Por que ? Well, I guess it's because I'm hoping to resuscitate the little bit of espanol that is left in me. I've been noticiing lately that I'm beginning to lose it, and that's scary. I tried to carry on a conversation with abuelita the other day, and she had to keep guessing at what I was trying to say. Pathetic!

Track and Field Day

For Moi Day, a Kenyan holiday, we celebrated with Track and Field Day. Richard decided to run the 5K last minute. He ran it in 25 minutes 26 seconds. Not bad! He came in fifth overall. PJ had just arrived the day before, so I spent most of the day with him. Poor baby! He didn't even have time to recover from his jetlag. But, the kids loved him! I didn't participate in any event, but as staff I was in charge of measuring distance for the long jump and the softball throw. My legs got a workout from all the bending over! My students got to participate, as well. Here they are lining up with their partners to run the 100 m relay. Ms. Duvra is pumping them up! They did a great job! Look at them...really pushing it! I watched from the sidelines and cheered them on.
