Being A Mzungu

Konnie the mzungu

Well, we are leaving for Western Kenya and may not have internet access. The plan is to go from their directly to Uganda (and white water rafting at the mouth of the Nile!).

This past weekend we were able to act the part of white tourists or “Mzungus” as we visited the Karen Blixsen museum. For all of you who do not know (i.e. males everywhere), she was the Danish lady who started a coffee plantation in Kenya and wrote about her experiences in the book (and now movie) called “Out of Africa“. It was not all that bad and, as my mother pointed out, we did get to touch Robert Redford’s pants!
