Pins For East Africa





It was worth the wait to stand by as The Great BZWZ put four pins onto the African continent. If you look quickly, they look like four yellow markers marking the northern edge of Lake Victoria, but on the ground, of course, each pin represents a completely unique spot.



From right to left, East to West, we see Nairobi, Kenya; Kisumu, Kenya; Kampala, Uganda; and Ruhira, Uganda. Nairobi and Kampala are large nations' capitals while Kisumu is the third largest city in Kenya and Ruhira is a small Ugandan village.



But the map always seems to get larger after you put pins into it. The world grows as we watch -- a few places discovered and a few roads traveled but so many more out there, waiting to be appreciated.

The pinning is a great ritual. Uncanny how all of you love traveling to the most exotic of places. Guess you instilled the bug in your kids at an early age.

I see no pins in the wilderness that is southwestern Kansas. You have no idea what you are missing.

(Actually, yes you do...)
