We got to spend some time at our new rental house this morning. The house is entirely constructed from these organically shaped stones, with wood interior details and a tile roof. The glass and iron work on the roof is a skylight that lets tons of light into the space. The girls are playing on a climbing frame in the yard that needs a little tlc, but is fun none the less.
There is a wrap around patio on the back side of the house overlooking a ravine with a small creek at the bottom. The outdoor fireplace can also be used as a grill for the Kenyan national dish "Nyama Choma." Which essentially means wood-fire grilled goat or lamb with chili paste and a chopped tomato and onion kind of salsa on the side that you eat only with fingers. The yard is large but on a steep slope. There are many beautiful large trees and a level area with the climbing frame for the girls to play.
We are in a neighborhood called Lake View which is entirely gated and feels very quiet and safe. Many of the houses in this area were built in the same style - probably sometime in the 60s.
We are off to Mt. Kenya tomorrow for Christmas. I'll try to take lots of pictures.
