Who says you have to suffer when you do research. This is a shot of Sandai Homestay, my base during my stay in highlands. Located in Mweiga, a village about a half hour's drive north of Nyeri, Sandai was smack in the geographical center of the area invovlved in the Mau Mau rebellion. I saw my first Mau Mau hideout cave just five miles away. Petra Allmendinger  runs this excellent guesthouse, and she provided most of the introductions to the fascinating people in the highlands. The ambiance and the food here can not be beat.
