I've uploaded some more pictures taken by my traveling companions to my Photobucket account.
The albums can be viewed here , here, and here.
Here's some video from the trip as well:
Thanks for looking!

Pictures, pictures, pictures!
We finally made it home!
We arrived Saturday night to the airport in Nairobi, only to find that our flight to Paris had been canceled. We waited (in vain) until 11 PM to see if we could get seats on a flight to London, but that was a no-go. The airline put us up in a hotel so that we could catch the flight to Paris in the morning; the only thing was that we arrived at the hotel around 12:30 AM and received our wakeup calls at 2:15 AM. It turns out the flight from Paris was delayed until 7:30 AM, so it was a fairly miserable, sleepless experience.
We had to spend the night in Paris, but it was not as glamorous as it sounds. Our airport hotel was about 45 minutes from downtown, so we had hotel restaurant buffet food, then retired for the evening.
The flights from Paris to Newark and Newark to Rochester went smoothly, which has been the exception and not the rule for this trip!
Anywho, it's great to be home; but this has been the trip of a lifetime. I can't summarize everything I've learned in one paragraph. If anything, it's opened my eyes, and I'd like to think that I'll make it back to Africa someday.
In the meantime, here is a link to my Photobucket album: Kenya Photobucket Album
The pictures aren't posted chronologically, but if you play the slideshow, there's captions describing each shot. There are several hundred more pictures from the other people in our group, but I'd like to get permission (or better yet, links) from them before I post them.
Thanks for following along, even if the coverage was spotty!
