Saturday: Rest and the Long Road Home

Today, we were a little lazy to begin the day. Mt. Kenya, the second highest peak in Africa and year round snow at the equator, greeted us with a full view in the morning. Yesterday it was covered with clouds. Today, the mountain was so clear. We had a short drive to see what we could see of the animal kingdom. A couple of cape buffalo were in the tall grass watching us. Antelope and warthogs were everywhere. The warthog picture is just after two males were fighting. Just as I took the shot they broke and starting chasing each other. We had another adventure getting stuck on the ride. We were right on the edge of the park; so some local children came to watch us try and get out. After slinging mud everywhere and cramming branches under the tires, we made it out. I think the children hated to see us go. The group photo of the family: Shirley, Bonnie, Floyd, Carol, Mary, and Bernard. Then we began our journey home. Along the way we visited some property for the beginning of another vision becoming a reality. We stopped at a trout restaurant that is build in the trees. Below the tree top restaurant are trout ponds. While we were there, Bonnie spotted her favorite monkeys, Colobus. The day was long but a good. In some ways, we were wondering if we would ever make it home. Tomorrow, we begin with worship at Koinonia. Then, getting everything packed up. One last meal together early evening, then, it is off to the airport for the journey back to the USA and Greenville. Thank you again for your prayers.
