Kisumu

We went to Kisumu for the weekend to see the hippos on Lake Victoria. I had no idea that I was hippophobic until I was already on the boat. This is basically the face I had the entire time we were on the water. The hippos weigh about 3 tons a piece and don't really look that amused when you're snapping their photos from a few feet away.

The matatu broke down on the way to Kisumu. The exact nature of the problem is still unclear, but it was fixed with some masking tape.

We stayed in a hotel that had electricity! And running water! It was amazing.

We were able to catch some live African music Saturday night and headed down to a tin shack on the lake on Sunday to have some fresh tilapia served whole. Eyeballs and all.
