My Beautiful Kakamega! The Crying Stone of Ilesi

Right from branching off from Nairobi-Kisumu highway one cannot avoid being mesmerized by the beautiful and amazing sceneries along the Kakamega -Malava road. Beautiful land? NO! Beautiful would be an understatement when it comes to describing this land. It is just heart-melting. Lovely! 

 One of the spectacular sceneries in this land is the The Crying Stone of Ilesi. For anyone at the foot of this phenomenon, the most striking feature is that it resembles a gowned figure, perpetually in tears flowing from 'head to toe' — an image spiced-up by myth and folkfore. To any visitor, the stone is just another tourist attraction site, but for tourism enthusiasts, the story behind this amazing feature, as well as the lives of Isukha poeple who live at its base, is not just beautiful but exciting to listen to.

The Grand Canyon of Africa

Since my high school days, I developed this great fantasy of travelling to Arizona, United States just to experience the awesome view of river Colorado's Grand Canyon. My geography teacher( one very tall man and of course one of my favorite pedagogues) explained the beauty of this magnificent work of nature and this made my plane take off. Ever since I have been travelling to see the Grand Canyon; in my mind; just like they say that imagination will always take you to places even eagle have never landed. On my journey, luckily, I landed at my destination and I beheld what I leaned from my teacher and much much more, right here in my land, my beautiful, magnificent, awe-inspiring Kenya. The breathtaking Hell's Kitchen.
