Passing Over the Kenya Equator!

While on Safari between two different game parks, we unintentionally came across the global equator. While at this exciting landmark, mom was thrilled to learn about the effect of opposite magnetic poles just meters apart. It was quite interesting to have a local woman give us a demonstration of how the whirlpool affect of water changes direction depending on which side of the equator you are on. Mom was also excited to do some hardcore bargaining  with the women who sold soapstone souvenirs there. Way to go mom!!
