What's I'm seeing now-ish
Finally assembled my @SurlyBikes Ted Trailer. I got it as part of the @TourDeFat Car For Bike Swap 4.5 years ago and having been using @an.avery.a.day 's chariot instead of this. Excited to have greater towing capacity now (300lbs, yikes!). Thanks @jimmyhallyburton for convincing me to get it. #ProcrastinatorsUniteThe #CommunityFridge is now open. We've got food, books, a handful of tools, and a few toiletries. If you need anything (or having anything to donate) please stop by 48th, just south of ThistleWe built a shelter with @SeattleCommunityFridge Now to fill the fridge with food and the shelter with canned goods, books and toolsToday on a walk, @an.avery.a.day and I found a chickadee building a nest in the hollow of a tree.A great day for a ride. Picked up 55 lbs of flour for making more bread. Bike trailers might be the greatest invention everCategories

We’re back
We’ve been up for about 44 hours and still have at least 3 to go before we’re home, but we are back on US soil. It’s been a great trip and I will post some final thoughts about it soon. … Continue reading

Samburu – Elephant Bedroom Camp (Day 2)

Samburu – Elephant Bedroom Camp

Night train: Mombasa to Nairobi
Can there be a more elegant way to travel than a night train between two cities? The idea that you board one night, have a quick dinner and a few drinks, make new friends, retire to your own private compartment … Continue reading
Watamu (part 2)
We left Mombasa for Watamu by matatu. This is the Kenya equivalent of public buses. They run between cities and charge a set fare. This meant we didn’t have to negotiate the ticket price, but it doesn’t guarantee the quality … Continue reading

Nairobi
Last night, we caught an evening flight from Addis to Nairobi. Most of what we read told us to be extremely cautious in town, to get out as soon as possible and don’t go out walking after dark. We got … Continue reading
