Packing Up...
I hate packing up so much. Give me a box and I'll gladly unpack--but please, don't make me pack up!But it's that time again and here I am, preparing to say goodbye to Marsabit. That's the problem with allowing yourself to fall in love with places; you always end up having to leave them. There is no staying when it comes to my life.
How can I possibly fit in everything that I want in these last few days? There is too much to do, too much to see; too much to be said and left unsaid.
Highlights of this time:
--spending the night in a remote desert village in a hut.
--recognising people in the middle of nowhere and having them recognise me.
--learning how to dress like they do here
--having a whole conversation in Swahili with a chief out in the desert
--spending all day eating and talking at the JeyJey Centre
--watching the elephants on a sunrise walk in the savana with a friend
--dancing
--running for shelter through the downpour in the middle of the desert
--taking someone out in a futbal game :)
--climbing trees & being a tourist attraction
--dinner out tonight (I'm anticipating it being great!)

Hey, I was just now able to get to a computer since the APC started this week, and is now finished, kindof. Anyways, your life sounds very enriched by your time in Kenya. I am sure the departure is painful for you. Much prayer has already taken place and will continue taking place for you. jgh
