VIdeo of the Day: Wellington Sevens

One of the incredibly fun events I was able to stumble across on my trip was the Wellington Sevens Rugby Tournament. It is an international tournament of seven-man rugby teams. The great thing, aside from the action, is that almost all the fans show up in full costume. Incredible party weekend.

My blogs about it are here:

Heard and Seen - with great pics -- First blog on Wellington Sevens

and another of the full band outside the stadium, in costume of course:

Photo of the Day: On TOP of a cargo truck

This was far from one of the best pictures I took on the trip, but the story is one that I will never forget. There is no public transportation if you want to go from Kenya to Ethiopia -- overland, that is. So if you are going that way, you have to hitch a ride on a three ton cargo lorry going that way. Where do you ride?? Up top, just like my fellow local travelers are doing in this picture, right before I hopped back up on my spot on the metal bars.

And FYI, I got to ride this truck for about 18 hours, over two days. Interesting days.

these kids were mega-cute. And weren't posing for me. I was across the street with a telephoto lens. They were just having fun.
