January 13, 2011

On our last day at the Nou Forest, we were given the option to catch up on school work or go on a surprise hike with Daudi, our guide and founder of Dorobo Tours. The hike was four hours of rigorous work, but worth the effort. Those who went arrived at an Iraqw waterfall, where the students enjoyed the view and refreshing water (yay showers!). For those who stayed around camp went on individual hikes to enjoy solitude and the unique environment around them. Some students even came across a newborn calf among an Iraqw cattle herd. We are excited to travel to the Yaeda Valley tomorrow and experience life with the Hadzabe tribe.

PS- Ja-Z and KT apologize for missing yesterday, expect another upload in the next few hours!

  2. KT,
    How wonderful that you got to go to the water on your bday. Great photos. We await every posting with every new day. Hope you read my comment about Bourdain.
    Dad took me to Catherine 's last night. We shared the blog with the Reeds and the Davis's. Irene asked if you are wearing the vibrams to run in the jungle. Dad said that if you were, you would become prey like the warthog. Stay safe or run Very fast!

    Hope you enjoyed your walk to get a shower. How come we never see a picture with you in it? We'd love to send it to family and friends. And, oh yeah, it's snowing again. Hope all is well.

    Love, Mom, Dad, and Josh

  8. Elizabeth -Everyday brings a new challenge! I keep forgetting you are also doing school work too! It is certainly a hands-on classroom to say the least! It was great to see a photo of yours on the blog - so YOU are REALLY there. Not missing anything here; swimming, swimming, swimming. No internet access for two weeks at the pools either. Guess you can relate. Love you
