Halfway there

I have started my journey. I just arrived in London and will have a six hour layover here. I still have a good deal of traveling to do but I had a whole row of seats to myself on the 10 hour flight to London from San Francisco. I slept almost the whole way. I will arrive in Malindi at noon tomorrow. Hopefully you have found Kenya on the map. The next thing I would like you to do is figure out the time difference between Kenya and where you are checking this from. Also figure out if Kenya has daylight savings time or not. Next time you hear from me I will be in Kenya!

Getting ready...

Here I am with one of my students in 2006 watching hippos in Kenya.

In one week I will be on my way to Kenya. I can't wait to return to Kenya. I certainly didn't think I would be getting back this soon. This Wednesday I will be making a presentation about teaching Anthropology in high School at the American Anthropological Association Annual conference in Washington D.C. I will certainly be talking about my upcoming trip with Earthwatch. I have everything ready to go for my Anthropology class and my Economics classes. My Anthropology students will be studying about the past, present and future of Kenya. My Economic students will be studying the impact of tourism in developing countries. The first thing my students need to do is make sure they can find Kenya on a map of the world! I hope all of you enjoy my posts. I will trying to keep them as interesting and entertaining as possible.
