Where to begin

My trip has just begun. I don't know anything for more than a passing moment. nothing is as it as it seems. The beginning has just begun. This is just the beginning. Let me be clear. Sometimes you think you're awake but actually you've only dreamed to be waking up. You realize in a dream that you're dreaming being awake. Then the next moment you are awake, but only hold onto this thought for a split second. Waking thoughts and sleeping dreams are no different. Out here I am thinking in dreams and it's all coming true.

some tips to jog the sleeping memory:
ask the first person you see to help you find your friend from long ago, in a strange new old town called Nanyuki
The Boys of Baraka are not as they seem in the Oscar nominated film
Mt Kenya, north face standard route is nothing of the sort
white land owners in Kenya are called settlers and own it all, farming vegetables for export under acres of sodium oxide lights to create twenty four hour growth cyles and working conditions for the WORKERS
safaris are fun for an hour, see the giraffe eating leaves from a tall tree, hippos swimming in a pond, and nearly crash the land rover into an elephant strolling down the road ahead in the dark.
