That’s all for now. Kwaheri. View my complete profile. Final Week in Nairobi.

East Africa 2008: Journey around Mt. Kenya
http://campioneastafrica.blogspot.com/2009/06/journey-around-mt-kenya.html
Journey around Mt. Kenya. September 29, 2008; Nairobi, Kenya. After Thika we continued until we reached the town of Embu, the headquarters of the Eastern Province and located southeast of Mt. Kenya. Embu strikes one as a rather unremarkable town, but typical of a reasonably prosperous regional hub in the agricultural center of Kenya. Like many of the towns in the Eastern Highlands, it began as a supply center and market for the European settlers. View my complete profile. Lewis and Clark Overseas Programs.
