Run like the wind!

This past Saturday was the Rosslyn Track Meet.  Kenyans are great runners and get very excited about track races.  We all helped at the meet -- the boys were "errand runners", Tim was security, Lisa was a recorder. 

 These boys here are from a local Kenyan school and were a joy to watch!  Even in their bare feet they could run like the wind!

This past week the whole country was excited to have Usain Bolt in Nairobi.  Bolt is Jamaican and three time Olympic gold medalist.  He holds the world record for the 100m and the title "fastest man in the world".  He met with the President of Kenya and also visited the animal orphanage where we had been just a few weeks ago.  He adopted a cheetah.  There were lots of newspaper pictures of the fastest man in the world holding the fastest animal in the world.

We also got to hold 3 week old cheetahs.  What a thrill!!
