I remember when I went to Mexico, we took lots of road trips because traveled all the time to many villages, and into the mountains. The longest trip was about 11 hours of driving total, but it was like you said: a lot of quality time with friends while creating some incredible memories. I'm glad you captured your experience with words and photographs, and that you shared these tips. This was great, and Rift Valley sounds very beautiful!

Great advice for trips through life in a way. The sounds of Kenya were great too. I loved your "shame-based culture" reference. Be on the alert, we want to see you again. God bless you.
