Some photos - Maai Mahiu; grade 9 field day

Right is the 'barabara' - the main road through Maai Mahiu, lined with lorrys which run from Mombasa (the coast) up into Uganda & Rwanda. Click on the photo for more detail - the man crossing the road is carrying many suit jackets; yes, he is a suit jacket 'hawker'. He walks around to restaurants in town looking for folks wanting a suit jacket.
Below is Guthera Hotel - nicest lace to eat in town; source of my 'funny tummy' which laid me low Thurs & some of Friday last week.















Left - Kariandusi Pre-historic site. The Rift Valley was home to some of the earliest known hominids. The stones above are all in-situ discoveries of tools made by homo erectus about 700,000 years ago.
Right - 38 student squeezed into the 17-passenger mini-bus... for our 3-hour journey!
