Kenya and Tanzania

From February to May I'll be studying abroad in East Africa. The work will be exciting, and the exploring unforgettable, but unfortunately I won't be able to keep in touch with everyone on a regular basis. I'll be out with the monkeys, giraffes, elephants and many others...and for that reason I'll have very limited phone and internet access. So while I'm away, feel free to follow my blog, and read about what I'm up to!

Tsavo Pictures

Scariest thing I have ever seen. This scorpion was HUGE. We saw him on the first night. The first thing I said was, "thats not real", the second thing I said was, "are you sure its not a lobster?" Most scorpions we see here are 1.5 to 2 inches long, but this guy was around 6.

This is everyone after a travel lecture we had the first day of expedition, on the way to Tsavo.

A giant millipede at camp one night. We saw few of these guys. Kinda gross, but harmless.

An elephant that got a little aggressive when we were too close. He got a little angry, but never completely charged us.

At the top of one of the hills we hiked up. Daniel is to the left, he is a professor and lives here with us, and Aurther, on the right, is the cook. They are both very funny.

A couple of the lions we saw in Tsavo!

A view of the Chyulu Hills. It was a hard hike, but it was definitely worth it. The view was amazing.
