Trains have a great romance even when the glory has faded

Slept like a baby the banging and bouncing rocking me to sleep. The air is wetter now and the clouds are a haze the light coming over the land. You see little huts here and there woman walking with large water jugs on there heads.


Walking , dancing and singing are really the Kenyan peoples past time.
Small children leave for school at 6 am as they have such large distances to walk. I tossed hot wheels cars out to the kids as the train rattled by. We just stopped and three kids with big smiles outside the window. I tossed them some cars. It was pure glee. For them and for me.





Other train travelers tossed them tissues and pencils. Never money. Many people go to poor places and feel it is ok to give money. This is a proud and very industrious people.they could grow a crop without water.
In the distance is a massive bird nest. Not like any other bird nest i have ever seen It could be a eagle condo for 20 :).
