Day Two – Our First Day in Kenya

We arrived early in the morning here in Kenya. Unfortunately, it was also 10:00 pm my time. With little sleep on the plane, we walked through the tunnel very tired but excited. After long lines at customs and crazy baggage claims, we made our way out of the airport and were met immediately by Joe and Molly and a few friends.

On our way from the airport, we were able to stop by Elijah's (Molly & Joe's son) school. He showed us around the school and introduced a few friends and roommates. He loves his school and is doing really well. It was good to spend time with him and see him doing well.

Kenya is beautiful. We took our time on our way back to Nakuru. We were both captured by the beautiful landscapes, unique animals, and the innocent children running beside our van. The children are so easy to fall in love with.

Everywhere we go, we stick out. Not only are we the only white people in a sea of dark faces, Douglas is taller than most everyone around. Walking through the town you can't help but feel like a celebrity – everyone wanting your attention (mostly wanting to sell something). It was good to have a day to be able to acclimate to the new schedule and culture a bit. Tomorrow we begin shooting.

A few shots from the day (Many more good ones, but I'm only posting three for sake of my sanity-remember the days of dialup?):
