We took the afternoon off and went to the Rondo Retreat in the heart of the Kakamega Forest.  It is about an hour from Kaimosi.  We had a nice lunch with Kennedy and Dorothy Shiverenje at the retreat and then hiked to the top of this hill in the forest, which you can see behind us.



The forest itself is very dense.  They said they have identified 36 varieties of snakes, 22 of which are poisonous.  Things like cobras, mambas, boom slang, puff adders, horned vipers, pit vipers, etc.  We did not see any snakes on our hike, but we did see lots of butterflies and monkeys.

We are leaving Kaimosi tomorrow morning so this is probably our last blog until we get to Iowa on July 3.
