Saturday activities

Merrilee finally got here after problems in Detroit, being diverted from Amsterdam to Dubai and then working her way through the  Nairobi airport. She was a real trooper and got a quick shower and came with us after 48 hours of travel. She met interesting people along the way.  Cynthia was happy to see her suitcase that Merrilee had checked for her. All was finally well.

We drove out to Naivasha with a new driver to us. Her name is Rosemary and she was great. She has worked in several clinics with other teams, so I asked Catherine if we could have her for the week and we got her. It's like gaining another team member.  A good driver makes things easy and safe.  One that helps in the clinic is precious. We look forward to working with her.

Due to the late start, we were only able to be on the water for about an hour. I gave our boat driver, who called himself Captain Peter 300 Kenyan shillings, about $3, and he bought 4 dead fish to bait eagles with.  He succeeded in coaxing 4 African Fish Eagles to come down from trees to snag the fish.  Cynthia and I got some great action shots. We also saw many other birds and a few hippos.

After the safari, we had a very good lunch nearby. We arrived back in Nairobi in time for a 5 pm worship service with the other teams and then had dinner.

Wifi is spotty this evening, so I'm going to call it a day and hit the sack. More to follow...
