Greetings from the most western-styled cyber cafe in all of Africa! I’m typing while eating a pizza and feeling guilty about greasing up the keyboard.

I’ve traveled pretty far west into Kenya now – small towns and the same meals every night can make me miss things I always take for granted… like hot running water. Also, my food cravings have been worse than a pregnant lady. Some of the food I daydream about these days:

• McDonalds
• Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Creme
• Twinkies
• Mac N Cheese
• Hawaiian Pizza

Kenya Playlist:

Bobby McFerrin – Baby. Album – VOCAbuLaries

(If you don’t have this album, get your mouse over to itunes right NOW!)

Brad Mehldau – The Falcon Will Fly Again. Album – Highway Rider

(I can’t find the album version of this song to share, but get it and fall in love with it. Brad Mehldau)

The Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues. Album – Helplessness Blues

(A great, great, great song from the Fleet Foxes)

These are just a few songs that have been helping pass the time on long road trips and traffic jams.

Will write more later.
