JAMBO from Nairobi. The official web site is called magical Kenya and that says it all. We were met at the airport with happy smiles and news that the two parties had agreed on a compromise and violence is now a thing of the past as the sides try to work together for the good of the country. The weather is perfect, we have visited prehistoric sites, seen elephants and warthogs and all sorts of animals up close, seen both rare black and white rhinos by the dozen. On Wednesday we head to the Maasai Mara where I meet Jackson and his family. More later. I'm having trouble with a strange computer, but Carl is downloading pictures.
There are not a lot of visitors so to anyone thinking about a wonderful trip--you'll be treated like royalty and have a trip you can only imagine! More later.
About Me
- Mary Bowman-Kruhm
- I began this blog to show the long path a writer of a nonfiction book for young adults takes from idea until (hopefully) published book. Jackson Minteeng Liaram, a young Maasai warrior about whom I'm writing, has worked hard to become a successful guide in the Masai Mara in southern Kenya while still preserving and protecting his culture, one of the most exciting in the world. I'm anxious to tell his story.

Hi Mary,
I can't wait until you're home and can tell me all about it. Will be looking forward to your pictures, since I'll probably never get to Africa, myself.
