		<description><![CDATA[I bought some eggs at the grocery store the other day. I&#8217;m sure I must have bought these particular ones because I saw the words &#8220;Free Range&#8221; on the box. A few days later went to scramble some eggs and I noticed what the box actually said&#8230; While taste is one of the reasons that [...]]]></description>

As I imagine it&#8217;s quite hard to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I walk past this paddock all the time, but today I noticed something special: Ankole cattle. This breed of cattle, native to East Africa, is known for its peculiarly-large horns. They&#8217;re absolutely beautiful&#8230; I remember seeing them years ago when I was driving through Uganda. Little did I know I would come to work in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I snapped this picture of a Coca Cola bottle last week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: I thought it was cool to see the famous brand name printed in something other than English. In the Amharic language the four characters spell &#8220;Coca Cola&#8221; phonetically: Co-ca Co-la. The bottom part apparently says &#8220;Trademark.&#8221;]]></description>

Because there&#8217;s only so much to do in Kimberley (yes, I&#8217;ve seen the Big Hole), we decided to do take a road trip to see some new scenery. I had been looking at the map of South Africa and noticed that Lesotho, the small nation [...]]]></description>

Because they&#8217;re not very common we&#8217;ve started a little tradition of saving them. At first it was just a joke&#8230; but now, just a [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve ridden (and enjoyed) swing rides before, but I think I&#8217;ll pass on this one! It&#8217;s closed today, but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be packed this weekend. It&#8217;s all fun and games until someone gets hurt&#8230; that thing looks super [...]]]></description>

Cassandra mostly uses it to get to and from work, but it&#8217;s really convenient for things like grocery shopping, dinner in the evening, etc, or simple when matatus or [...]]]></description>

As we&#8217;re now in Kenya&#8217;s &#8220;short&#8221; rain season it looks like I&#8217;ll have to get used to tip toeing around this small lagoon for a few more weeks.
