Kenyan positivity and trip to Lake Baringo

One thing I love about Kenyans is that they always have a positive attitude about everything. Stress does not seem to enter their daily life and if it does, you would have no idea that they were stressed because they walk around with a smile on their face. I know some people might consider this a "false presence" but I see it as a great way to live life. As the book title goes "Don't sweat the small stuff".

I had lunch with Dana and our coworker, Everlyn, today. We started discussing the differences between Western culture and Kenyan culture. Both Dana and I commented on how we appreciate the way in which Kenyans prioritize their lives. Kenyans are much more "people conscious"- always assisting a family member or a friend, and much more comfortable discussing their spiritual life. They seem to worry less and appreciate what they have versus always wanting more. I think there are a lot of lessons to be learnt by the way in which other people live in this world. Something I really noticed today at our lunch.

Emily returned from Zanzibar last night and we had the chance to hear all of her stories over supper at a great spot called "Moonflower". Sandra, Dana, and I have decided that we must go to Zanzibar over the Easter holiday because Emily had such a great time! So of course this morning we were investigating flight prices, places to stay, etc.

This weekend Tia, Dana, Emily and I are heading to Lake Baringo in the Rift Valley. It is a 5 hour trip, north of Nairobi and we will be camping- check out the site below for information on where we are staying.
