Kenya

We left Germany this week and flew across the Mediterranean to the continent of Africa (one thing I've stressed a million times this week, is continents-countries-towns, etc. and I think it is finally starting to be remembered) to the country of Kenya. A few of the neat things we have learned so far:

1. The equator runs right through it.
2. Kenya is almost the size of Texas, almost.
3. Most of the country is desert.
4. Lake Victoria is the 2nd largest freshwater lake in the world.
5. Farming and Ranching are the main occupations.
6. Corn is the most grown crop and a main part of Kenyan diets.
7. The life expectancy is only 44 years of age (and being almost 41 I can't tell you how sad that is).
8. Wildlife-zebras, warthogs, rhino's giraffe's help fuel their tourism industry.

We ended our Africa study today with Count Your Way Through Africa in Swahili.
