OK...my favorite game in Kenya...CATCH THE MUZUNGU...
It has all the elements of great drama...
A field full of very fast future Olympic marathoners...
and across the field...a group of very white, very slow Americans...running from the kids.
As the saying goes, "you can run, but you cannot hide...' there have been some muzungu that did better than others at holding off the oncoming horde...Taylor Ishii comes to mind as one of the best, but I think his retreat included climbing a tree...or was that Chris Wohlers...Anyway...a special treat awaits the individual who first tracks down and 'tags' the fleeing American...like a soccer ball or a frisbee...so the smile that comes across the faces of the kids waiting to pounce and the laughter that comes from watching the awkward and inevitable capture of the tortoise-like muzungus is .... hilarious.
Simple pleasures...
This doesn't seem like a very fair game... do we (tortoise slow muzungus) at least get a head start???
