I started playing Pokémon Go again to see what kind of Poké Stops are in Kisumu (they’re mostly churches).
I went to my first raid where the reward was a disappointing zubat.
Harry mentioned zubats are actually great for malaria mosquitoes.

Ibis
We saw an ibis in the yard recently (sans beret).
Ceiling Lizards
We go to Clarice for dinner pretty often.
There are always a ton of lizards on the ceiling.
They’re totally gossiping about us.
Guardian Dog
Kike (“KEE-kay”, Swahili) likes to lounge in the sunny spots of our yard.
Recently I learned she can hop the fence.
Now I imagine her off to all sorts of adventures in the neighborhood.
Karura Forest
A couple of months ago, I visited Karura Forest.
The air was refreshingly eucalyptic.
All cities should have urban forests!
