This Past Week's Finds…

1. Mount Kilimanjaro... she exists!

A dormant volcanic mountain, the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5895 meters above sea level.

It's the end of the rainy season here, which means a lot of cloud cover. I didn't even get my first glimpse at Kili until well into my second week in Tanzania.

She's magistic.

2. A hedgehog!

Apparently, they're super common here. I've never seen one in the wild. Yohanna, one of my Massai students in Community English class came over to where I was painting with this little guy that he'd found.

Dare I hold him?

3. Maureen- my new favorite student?
