the pyramids at giza...

watching guard.

and at sundown...

the view from miguel's back porch.

from cairo - an ethiopian coffee setup with hookah in tow.

miguel showing off his boy's guitar-tamboura hybrid.

getting down on ramadan in cairo.

a stray on the streets of cairo. have you ever seen a cat with a coat such as that!?

the west end market in eldoret, kenya. it's the rejects from american good will stores and it's where i shopped.

as a going away present they slaughtered a goat for me at tumaini before i left kenya. a donated goat. that was supposed to be for the kids. the starving kids. i'm not joking.

some beautiful kids that i spent time with over the last portion of my trip...

abi, you are so beautiful.

anna! cheesing after munching on some avocado.

abi, who was abandoned at the hospital as a horribly malnourished baby, now lives with her new parents and 20 adopted brothers and sisters.

peter! he called me "baba" and cried out of jealousy if i picked up other kids. he was slated to be taken in by a home after i left. hopefully that has happened.

and a few months earlier...a sister dresses her brother's hair in rural madagascar.

a street musician performing on the big stairs in antananarivo, madagascar. i spent many a day basking in the warm tana sun whilst my friend here serenaded me with song after song.
