I am still finding my words to articulate why; lets just say, I am jealous of the mzungu, who even by his name, is allowed to wander the earth. I am jealous that I have to explain so often why I would want that same privilege. I found your blog awhile ago, but forget to check it sometimes as I am not on wordpress. I love your digital and verbal imagery.

I, like your daughter, consider Kenya “home” so I completely understand that complicated thing of belonging, even after 35 years away from home.

I’ll get searching. Karibu means Welcome, ‘piga hodi’ is to enquire who’s in, a sort of ‘hello, anybody home’, the response in Tanzania would be ‘karibu’. x

I’m so glad you’re doing it. If you need inspiration, or the stamina to keep going, I think there are websites which you can link to. Then you can be part of a big global photo-a-day, and learn about people’s daily lives all round the world.

I love this first one. Very appropriate. You are greeting us with your new venture. (I’m assuming Karibu means Hello.)
