Went out of town to Pt. Roberts with Luke and Ellyse on Thanksgiving Monday for a motorcycle trip to shake myself out of the self-induced turkey coma from the night before.  Here is the video, stills to come in a following post. Full quality in HD here: http://www.vimeo.com/7088694

Wubshet (left) and Habiba, the husband and wife team that run Global Hope Network’s Kenya operation on the ground are both amazing people.  Wubshet, the self-proclaimed bush man, is full of random quips telling us basically to man up.  His better half Habiba organizes the womens groups in the village and keeps everything running smoothly.  We have been staying in the Sandavy Guest House in Nairobi for the past couple days getting ourselves organized, picking up the mosquito nets we are going to distribute in Gambella, and adjusting to the local time after (at least for me) flying for about 26 hours straight, not including stop-overs.  More info at http://www.globalhopenetwork.org

my photos, my work, for the past months. gone. my cameras. gone. my dirty smelly clothes. also gone. (okay, i dont care so much about them)

but some lessons have to be learned the hard way or they will never be learned.  and when something like this happens, it gives you a hell of a lot of time to think about things. things you wouldn´t think about if it didn´t happen.

so, i have my health, i have my friends, i have my family. it could be always, always be a hell of a lot worse.

but damn, do i ever miss my camera…….

is the simple life really that bad? nope.

i wish i could post a photo on here to share but it will again, have to wait until another time.

Hopefully I will get some photos on here in the next little while…

Take care,

-Brett.
