Here are some new photos I took today. We walked to Ndunyu Jeru from Tumaini which took about 45 minutes, had some lunch, then walked back. It was beautiful out and on our way we saw a chameleon. An old Kikuyu myth is that God sent the chameleon to tell people that they would live and a hare to tell people they would die. The chameleon was very slow and so the hare got to the people first. So, no one likes chameleons. Also, some children are afraid that the chameleon
can steal your skin color so while we stopped to pick it up and take
pictures a lot of others stopped to stare at us and they seemed pretty
surprised that we would consider touching it! It was a good day.
