Yesterday, 5 friends and I hiked the Ngong Hills. This was my second time (first here), and it was much easier with no culture shock and, well, a slightly less eggplant-shaped body. The men still hiked faster, of course. When we topped the first hill, they had drawn quite the admiring crowd.
This time our guard was Humphrey. He says his gun is a ?G-4?, which I made a point to ask about since it raised such a comment storm last time. He stated that he's never actually seen any bad guys on the trail, which is good I suppose. Anyhow, we girls felt quite safe, and here we are triumphant at the top of the highest hill.
On the way back, we had fabulous conversation about competitive cheese-chasing (apparently there is a televised sport involving pursuing a giant wheel of cheese down an alpine slope), and I took the defining photograph of the Lehman-Barnett rock band. Too bad none of them play instruments.
The day ended beautifully with a nap under a shade tree and Ethiopian food for supper (shiro-wat makes my heart sing, appropriate for Valentine's Day). What a very good day!
