We drove down through the lush tea farms in the Nandi Hills to visit our friends Joni Block and Cliff Shatz in the city of Kisumu. Joni and Cliff have just formed a non-profit community based organization called Rosie's Rafikis, in memory of their daughter Rosie who died tragically a number of years ago.

They took us to a magical place called Kit Mikayi - where there are amazing rock formations on which we climbed.
The view was fabulous and the feeling there is spiritual and full of
wonder.
How do those rocks get piled up like that? While there, we were treated to some dancing by local women who had some very cool
homemade percussion instruments that we loved.
They were happy to sell them to us for a few shillings.

We had dinner at Kidogo Bay which offered a gorgeous view of the sunset over Lake Victoria.
We also got our first chance to meet some of the members of the family with whom Joni and Cliff are working - Mark and his 14 year old twin sisters, Elizabeth and Catherine.
