Rutenberg Kenyan Adventure Vol. 2(1)


Happy New Year!

December was spent traveling. Destinations included California, Denver, Vegas, Rio de Janeiro, and London.  

In Denver we visited lots of family (both Isaac's and Wanjiru's), and spent some time in the snowy mountains. It rarely got above freezing. Adili had lots of time with his cousins and aunties and uncles and grandparents and friends, all of whom seemed to have a great time. 

In Vegas Isaac visited his newlywed sister and watched enough football to last another year.

In California we lived on the beach and Isaac got to ride his bike a few times (just enough to remind him how much he misses it...). We were all reminded about how much we miss the Bay Area.

In January we returned to Kenya to find it hot and election campaigning in FULL gear.  (Can't wait for March 4th elections, and hoping that they are peaceful!)  But we thoroughly enjoyed watching Obama's inauguration and got an appropriate photo of Adili that matches the photo from the last inauguration (at which he was just 4 days old!).

Oh, and Akili Dada is doing well - got an award from the Ford Foundation as a Champion of Democracy. A new Fellowship program is starting this year within Akili Dada to help fellows become agents of social change. 

Enjoy the winter and don't forget to write every once in a while! Pictures for this installment are linked here.
