Kenya: pre-departure

I dreamed of Kenya all night last night. 

I am standing on a precipice.  It's strange knowing that in two short days your life will be forever changed.  It's strange leaving on a trip you know will be so life-altering. 

I am excited for this trip for a lot of reasons.  I feel like my first trip to Africa (South Africa, 2010) showed us mostly the Westernized and tourist parts of that country.  Now I'm going to see how real Africans live.  1 Billion people on this planet live in poverty.  1 billion.  I am going to meet them, and see how they live, and teach their kids.

I am going to do my best to blog as much as possible while abroad, and to post pictures.  Please keep in touch! See you on the flip side.
