Well, the month of October is winding down. I look outside and the view hasn't changed. The leaves are still bright green. I imagine where you are the view is quiet different. Oh how I miss the changing of the seasons-fall is my favorite. But, I'll take warm days all year round instead...poor me!
(eating acacia...ouch!)
This month brought a few holidays--thanks to the Muslims and President's Day :) I have been on a whirlwind of sightseeing it seems. Safari was a couple of weeks ago and that of course was amazing. I now have seen the big 5 - rhino, buffalo, elephant, leopard, and lion!! I ventured up to Mt. Kenya with friends from work and what a sight it was. Our lodge had views of Mt. Kenya and a watering hole where all sorts of animals came for refreshments. The game drive was most amazing. Whatever you are picturing in your mind is what it was like--right out of the movies! Seeing the wonder of God's creatures with all their intricate patterns truly takes your breath away and you can't help but adore God even more!
The following long weekend I headed to the port town of Mombasa on the Indian Ocean with some other friends and well, I have to say, the ocean is where I am most happy. Our bungalow (thatched roof) was a sight to see. Zanzibar beds, open terrace, amazing meals cooked by our own private chef...(i won't even tell you how little we paid for it all, you'll hate me!). It was a wonderful weekend of swimming in the bluest ocean, taking a dhow boat to snorkel and walking along sand that would blind you it's so white.
Thank you for all your love and support!
