Merry Christmas! Video from Aberdares

I threw this together quickly so it's a bit rough, but I hope you enjoy it!



Merry Christmas to all our friends and family back home and around the globe, and we look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Another Video! Trip to Lake Magadi

Two videos in one day! This is just a short one from a day trip last weekend southwest of Nairobi...

Video: Trip to Kapiti Ranch

For some reason I was able to upload today from our internet connection here at the house. I actually haven't tried an upload since we've moved into the new place, so perhaps the connection is slightly more reliable? Either way, here is the clip!

Video: Trip to Lake Nakuru National Park

(Sorry about the flying snakes in the video.... next time I'll make sure the lens is clean!)

Video: Trip to Hells Gate National Park

Note: Sorry about the pixelated-ness of these videos. We are soon going to be experimenting with some new software, which should allow us to use our DVD Handicam instead of our little digital camera for video.

Video!!

Finally I have sussed out a method for uploading large files in our bandwidth-challenged location!! I wish I had a more exciting video to post, but I haven't been working on anything since I discovered that uploading may be a problem. Anyhow, this is a video I made when we first got here, and it mainly shows where we are living:



Hope you enjoy!

(note: I just noticed that the "YouTube" logo obscures some of the text. If you click anywhere on the video, it will open up a new window with the same video playing on the YouTube website and the logo will be gone)

London for a day

We ran into a bit of a hassle this morning when British Airways managed to screw up our flight to Nairobi, and they ended up having to re-book it for us for tomorrow morning instead. Oh well, these things happen, and we decided to make the best of it by spending the day in London and checking out some of the sites.

I've been through London a few times before, but I've never bothered to see the sites really. Jess was a good tour guide as she's been through most of the city before. This is just a short video, but it's got a few shots from around town, and -- some might say -- a particularly relevant soundtrack! If you can pick out the relevance, be sure to post a comment below (and no, it has nothing to do with weddings!).



We ended the night by taking in a show; none other than Jessica's favorite "Chicago". We were lucky to get tickets (we were told) because this was the big ticket show of the week as Ashlee Simpson was playing the role of "Roxy". Needless to say, the female 12-16 demographic was present in large numbers. It was a great show however, and old Ashlee pulled off the performance fairly well (or at least she did from the perspective of the Guiness and Strongbow enhanced glasses that I watched the show through).

Anyhow.... next post from Nairobi assuming that tomorrows flight goes as planned!

Clips from the eastcoast

Here's a short video with some shots and clips from my moms place in Sydenham. Sorry about the cheese factor -- I'm still learning and playing around with the video software. Enjoy!

Farewell to the westcoast!

On Wednesday we leave for Montreal/Ottawa, and then we'll be in Kenya in less than a week! Here is a little tribute to the fantastic westcoast of BC that we'll no doubt be missing soon....
