It's a Texas thing.

In the last month, I've been on safari, to the beach, returned to a broken laptop that refused to be fixed, had a flooded bathroom that officially did my laptop in, written 3 papers, packed for a month-long stay in a new city, acclimated to that new city and started a 9-5 job, and started outlining a 15-page paper.

Clearly, I have good reason for not posting. I promise to start writing regularly again/update you guys on the cool ish that's been happening, but until then...

Texas pops up in THE randomest places here: Dallas Cowboys jackets in 80 degree heat, walking down the street and seeing that unmistakable burnt orange on a passerby, men in cowboy boots and hats to show they're important/powerful people, my Swahili teacher throwing up dem horns, etc., etc. Unfortunately, I don't have the pictures to prove it. ::sigh:: Anyway, all the Texas love in Kenya inspired me to rep in a variety of places...



In a tide pool on the Indian Ocean




At the top of Mt. Longonot




Still on top of Mt. Longonot... (I wasn't satisfied reppin sitting down... had to stand up for Texas =))




In a random barn in Meru



I think there are more pics of me reppin, but I have waaaaaaaay too many to pick through them. Anywhos, a little proof of the Texas-Kenya love affair:


Random club down the street from our compound in Nairobi


And has anyone noticed that Kenya looks like an upside down, distorted Texas?





Told ya.

Okay. I'm done. ...But you know I just had to dedicate a post to Texas.
