This is a video of me signing in Kenyan Sign Language about Mount Longonot, Naivasha, and the Great Rift Valley. We filmed this at the top of Mount Longonot, after a tiring climb.
Special thanks to Josh for putting this together and uploading it to YouTube. Most of my friends haven't really seen me sign, and most of the world hasn't seen KSL. I am not a Kenyan, nor is KSL my first language, so this isn't quite a perfect representation, but it's something.
Right now, there's no audio that goes along with it, which means those of you who don't know KSL are missing out. (I think that's about 90% of my readers.)
We also filmed versions of me speaking in English and Swahili. It's essentially the same message, though I could never quite remember all the details from one take to the next. Unfortunately the audio didn't quite work out due to all the wind.
Josh might be able to play around with the audio file to make it more audible, but I'm afraid that's too much work. I might try to record an audio file that we could dub over the video, one version in English, another in Swahili. Or I might just write up a brief note about what I've signed.

Hi- I watched your sign language- and also noticed you were wearing a sweatshirt- just curious, but what's the weather like there?
