Karen, Lydia and Ken's East African Adventure

July 4th - 21st, 2006

"If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?" - Isak Dinesen "Out of Africa"

Going Tribal in Marangu with Chagga Banana Wine & Beer


Going Tribal....We had just finished a walk through paradise in the Chagga village of Marangu on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We can still hear "Jambo!" ringing in our ears from all the children saying hello. Above, the group sits waiting at a roadside bar. You can see by the looks on our faces that we have no idea what's coming next. Well, we had quite a bit of fun as you can see below. That is Malin & Oeystein Gylvik taking a picture of Karen chugging Banana Beer out of a traditional Calabash. Why is Karen squatting?? Then, there is Kelly Hathway smiling as pretty as can be because she is drinking the banana wine and she "LIKES" it. She took some home with her to England.
