That's Mike Slattery. And beside him, beautifully positioned on the cottage deck at Lantern cottage, is Mike's tent.
Mike is currently working with the U.N. in Kenya as an intern, and was home for Christmas. While back in Canada, he snapped up a tent to take on his African adventure. He is, after all, planning a campaign that involves Mount Kenya, among other places where it can get chilly at night even near the equator, and where you want something a little stronger than a beach towel to keep the lions at bay.
Which meant that prudently he had to test this new tent. It was advertised as an "all season" tent, and we're pretty sure that we get more extreme seasons here than he's likely to get there, if you get our drift. The tent got the drift -- Mike put it up just before we got smacked by a good Canadian blizzard.
We don't think it has a snowflakes' chance of seeing weather like this in Africa, so we reckon Mike's good to go!
Which is what he'll do in a few weeks, heading back to Kenya. You can follow his adventures at his own Blog site
