Since coming back from Kenya, many of my friends have asked me, \u201cHow was your trip? How was Kenya?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was good,\u201d I reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean where do I start? There is so much depth to that question that I cannot distill it into a simple sentence or two. Sure, the safari was amazing, the motorcycle tour riveting as we descended into the Rift Valley, and the visit to the school enlightening. But these surface-level activities are not what I\u2019ll remember this trip by. It is the invisible soul-touching aspects that have captured my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Environment<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Iten is one of the most beautiful cities I\u2019ve ever visited. One day into the trip and I could see myself living there. The weather is temperate just like San Francisco, but with clear blue skies instead of fog. There is nature everywhere, dirt roads to run on, dense forests to run through, goats and cows grazing on the side of the road, the smell of burning firewood and diesel in the air, and the vast Rift Valley opening up to amazing views. While walking through Iten, you can feel the running culture oozing from the pores of the town. There are runners on dirt roads, at any time of the day, getting their training in. It\u2019s hard not to want to join them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
