Marangu Falls

After a day of rest following our Kenya trip, we took a day trip to nearby waterfalls.   

They are called Marangu Falls and are breathtaking.  Our taxi driver/friend, Eddie, comes from that region so he drove us there.  It was great having him with us because he knew where to go and how to avoid the people trying to usher us to the falls (for a fee).  It was a nice walk and descent to the falls which are located at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.  Poor George carried Eli the whole way.  That little boy is not light! 

Once we arrived there, a student named Michael gave us a tour of the Chagga cultural museum and escorted us to the falls.   

The mist from the falls felt so nice.

It was too cold and rough for swimming, but maybe we can the next time we go.  It was nice to go on a little hike and be outdoors.  

  

My Mom and Al do outdoorsy stuff all the time so it was cool for them to be able to do that here too.
