"Good Morning" says Gus, except he uses this expression all day and night when greeting people. Everyone tries to correct him, but he doesn't get it yet.
Gus has discover constellations, specifically
Orion and Taurus. He got himself dressed to go outside this night to see the stars, hat on sideways and rubber boots. He prefers to wear his boot all day, because he can easily put them on and take them off himself.
Okay, this is not everyday stuff, but when we do have a day off our favorite thing to do is go hiking. This is from the top of
Mount Longonot. It was pretty hot and dusty going up the 5km climb to the rim. There is a trail along the rim all the way around, 10km more. Maybe we can do it next time.
Again, not everyday for us (and I would confidently say never for Katy), but I did yesterday and this is a very typical kitchen and meal for many Kenyans. Ugali, a cornmeal mash, is cooking here over the fire. It will thicken and then they press pieces into their hands to use to eat the other food in the meal. Cooked cabbage salad, with some spices and tomatos accompanied the ugali and was served to our construction crew. You'll here more about this in my next post. They gave me a spoon to use, since I wasn't able to properly was up (no soap). It's not bad when you're hungry.

one of my biggest concerns about this trip was whether gus would survive without honey nut Os. Looks like he's covered tho! Phew.
