Kericho Tea Estate, Kenya

Flame tree

Our rainforest visit came to an end too soon, and we made our way to Kericho, a tea estate. There were so many tea plants. It was neat to watch the Kenyan’s sitting in the fields collecting the leaves in the early morning.

We stayed on the grounds of a hotel in the area and just before dinner a couple of us were hanging out with some Kenyan children from the area and we were doing gymnastics with them! So much fun! There was one little boy who must've been around 7 or so, he was so good at it! He had the flexibility and strength and could already do a perfect cartwheel, backbend, front-handspring, and round-off…which I’m sure he either taught himself or was imitating us which is what a few of the other kids were doing. If he got trained I’m positive he'd be really good. It's too bad he won’t have that opportunity...
