The kids had a couple days off of school, so we went to Western Kenya to Kennedy's village. It was an amazing experience. He comes from Bungoma which is about an hour from Lake Victoria. It's a very rural area, about 7 hours from Nairobi. It was a big deal that we went as they don't see too many Mzungos there. His cousin (who works at the Embassy) set up a great itinerary for us. Unfortunately I lost my camera, so I don't have too many pictures, luckily we had a second camera. The first stop was at her son's house, about 2 hours before Bungoma. This is his place. He lives there with his wife and two small children. This was our first exposure to how Kenyan's are living outside of the city. This is a nice house as Kenyan standard goes. It's made of brick, only has two rooms, no electricity or running water.
