Later we come to Kericho, an enormous tea-growing center. They have grown their own forest, to supply wood for the fires needed to brew the tea. A small village of orderly houses are the living quarters for workers. The operation is very neat and attractive.
Rows of workers'
houses, provided by the tea grower company.
A worker lays
down a bag, held open with a spring. He will pick the leaves by hand, throwing
them into the bag every time he gets two handsful.

The Rothchild's Giraffe comes in different darknesses, if that's a word, as you see here.
It wasn't

You don't
think of the European Starling when you see the Superb Starling. A beautiful
bird.
This guy was
goofing off, and wanted me to take his picture, which I did. I showed it to
him and he just cracked up, calling his buddies over to see it. Such great laughter.
Frank tells
the kids to study hard in school, and make Kenya a better place to live. He
is very encouraging to them.
