Tales of East Africa: Diani Beach Music Festival
http://talesofeastafrica.blogspot.com/2010/11/diani-beach-music-festival.html
Tales of East Africa. Monday, November 15, 2010. Diani Beach Music Festival. A few weeks ago my friend Josh half-seriously suggested we jump on a bus and head to the Diani Beach Music Festival, a chance to listen to some of Kenya’s greatest music on one of Kenya’s nicest beaches. I half jokingly agreed. So on Friday Oct 23 Nicky, Josh and I got on a bus headed to the coast, concert tickets in hand, and that’s about it. Things changed though when we finished the voyage from Mombasa to Diani. During the cl...

Tales of East Africa: Rafting the Nile
http://talesofeastafrica.blogspot.com/2010/11/rafting-nile.html
Tales of East Africa. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. My final desired trip before I left East Africa was to go white-water rafting on the Nile River. In the first weekend of November, Aron and I jumped a bus for Jinja, Uganda; met up with our friend Tara at the bus stop on the other side, and met our friend Sarah who was in the area for business at the adventure office. And not just any rafting. The place was filled with fellow rafters and campers who simply enjoyed the extremely affordable lodging. We took...

Tales of East Africa: Nairobi Halloween
http://talesofeastafrica.blogspot.com/2010/11/nairobi-halloween.html
Tales of East Africa. Monday, November 15, 2010. My expectations for the holiday were not high- considering I was on a continent that didn’t acknowledge the holiday, not to mention the American culture tied to it. That, of course, didn’t stop me from enjoying every minute of it. A great benefit of working in Africa’s largest slum is having Africa’s largest second hand market at my fingertips. Never has costume shopping been so much fun. Isappointed with the costume turnout:. I couldn’t have been mo...

http://talesofeastafrica.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tales of East Africa. Friday, October 15, 2010. That thing called work. Although I hate admitting it out loud, my time with Children of Kibera, and in Nairobi in general, is quickly coming to an end. With less than a month to go with work, I decided it was time to share what it is I’m actually doing in Africa. I assist with and lead various other projects. Below are some of the project highlights over the past three months. My first project upon arrival in Kibera was to lead our high school scholars in a...

http://talesofeastafrica.blogspot.com/2010/09/twenty-first-birthday-kenya-style.html
Tales of East Africa. Monday, September 20, 2010. Twenty-first birthday, Kenya style. Twenty-one: by many American standards, the most important birthday celebration in one’s life: the final birthday of importance, the age of an official adult- there is nothing in the world you can’t do because of age-restrictions. When in a college-environment, it’s the best birthday you’ll never remember. Delicious' Long Island Ice Tea, thanks to Drew. Jeff, Johnson, Jos, myself and Drew celebrating at Sherlock's Den.
