It Begins

When I got to the airport in Nairobi, Kenya, I thought that I had walked into a David Lynch movie. Pale lights, silent extras. It was all there. I was one of 2 white people waiting for my connecting flight to Mombasa. As we sat waiting to board the flight, four men that looked like they had been cast as a terrorists in a bad American action movie. They seemed unconcerned that we were there. I never felt scared as much as out of place. When my friend Grace and I got off the plane in Mombasa it became clear that my life between now and August is going to be far stranger than any Lynchian epiphany. I'll Keep you posted and pictures will soon follow.

It's not this old anymore... but almost

I'm not pale its just the lights

Mombasa - ahhh.. for a minute there I was confused - though you went to Africa to search out your favorite characters from The Lion King - and I got Mombasa confused with Mufasa - but there is a link there - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mufasa - I guess you're more interested in Mombasa due to it's link with Halo 2?
