On April 25th we headed to the CMMB office in Nairobi to visit Angeline Yiamiton Sipar and her staff there. It was great to meet the team behind all the local project development and implementation. They are a great support to the field staff in Kenya and the most amazing hard working people.

took the nearly 6 hour journey south east to Mutomo, Kenya where Maria works. We hitched a ride with her coworkers who were returning home from a conference. Maria was NOT kidding at all about the long BUMPY DUSTY ride there...I know she describes it in her blog BUT she underplayed just how bad this road was!!!

We arrived just in time for sunset and a nice quiet adult beverage on Maria's porch. It was incredibly warm despite the end of the day but the symphony of crickets, the incredibly bright stars and the waxing moon was soothing to frayed nerves and a tired body. It was a nice restful sleep.
