Jen and I went to San Francisco recently. We spent an afternoon and evening on a picture scavenger hunt and just hanging out and having fun. One of the pictures needed was a double decker bus.

Here is a gentleman we met on a trip. He is over a hundred years old and has had 10 wives and 30 children over the years. He said that he could name all of his grandchildren if we had a paper and pencil to keep track.

Different boat on another research trip, but I'd say it is this guy's first time on a boat. (not the man, the cow).

On the bus to get to the boat, probably not the chicken's first time on the bus.

When visiting the Iraqw people group, I was invited to share a meal with these sisters.

On one of our recent trips we circled Mount Kilimanjaro. I have to say the Kenya side is pretty awesome.

This is my favorite use of a kanga.

Kangas are twisted, wrapped in a circle and placed on the head in order to make carrying heavy loads easier to balance.

The ladies and I are wearing kangas. They are brightly colored pieces of material which have many uses. This time they are aprons; we are ready to start cooking.
