Day 4- The Great Rift Valley

The Great Rift Valley has the perfect landscape and conditions to preserve fossils. It is a plain that is a hundred miles across and four thousand miles long. It looked so beautiful. A man from the museuem named Jillani Ngalla showed us around. We were going to a place called Olorgesailie. It was so amazing to walk where J.W. Gregory walked when he discovered a large amount of ancient hand axes in 1919 and stand where Louis Leaky stood when he found all of the ancient artifacts that he discovered in the 1940s. I was flabbergasted. Ngalla told me that the stragest thing about Olorgesailie is that no human remains have been found, only artifacts. This tour was the most mind-blowing and enjoyable tour I have ever been in. Now that it is late in the evening, we are going to take the night train from Nairobi to Mombasa.
