Sooo after 2 days of long traveling I am at Lewa. It was a real adventure to get here. two nine hour plane rides, a 5 hour delay in Amsterdam and the craziest part was the 6 hour drive from Nairobi to Lewa. The roads are brutal, with pot holes like you couldn't imagine.

People lined the streets almost the whole way, whether they were guiding their herds of cattle, washing cars, selling stuff, it seems like everyone is really doing their best to make money. It is hard to understand how all of these people make a living, but they all seem very happy. We stopped at the equator line where this guy showed me how water spins in different directions literally feet away from the invisible line.

Lewa is amazing, I am in the middle of the jungle in a big tent, all day there are noises of bugs and birds and other animals. The animals run free, these people I have been hanging out with said that a rhino walked right by their outdoor dining area last night and didnt bother them! In the 5 minute drive it took me to get from the Lewa gates to where I am staying I saw a zebra, a giraffe, impalas and a warthog, and there are tons of animals everywhere.
