The Places You'll See, the People You'll Meet

October 17, 2016

Remember that scene from the movie "Out of Africa" where Denys takes Karen on an amazing flight over Kenya? They fly along the rim of a crater, which is call Mount Longonot. Here's the scene. 

Here I am standing on the rim of Longonot posing for a picture with some local kids, who were on a field trip to the crater. 

This part of Kenya is already high altitude, and Longonot peaks at over 9,000 feet. I got altitude sickness on the hike (in part because I was carrying a backpack full of water bottles). 

It was an experience of a lifetime, a magical day (despite the nausea and barfing).
