Kip's adventures

So heres a story that I started on a week ago. The story starts out in El Paso, TX/Juarez where I follow Kip back and forth between the Port of Entry and the consulate. Luckily it wasn't too bumpy of a process. Unluckily I wasn't there a few weeks earlier when it was. This is the start to his story, the finish is when we get to Kenya. (which has been unfortunately postponed due to the violence there.)

Kip with a green slip that will grant him his visa. Click here for an audio slideshow of the adventures.
