A Well Worn Path: One Among Many

Another added benefit of staying so close to the airport as opposed to the usual haunt (Milele Guest House) is that you can bypass almost all of the Nairobi traffic on your way out of town towards Kisii using the Southern Bypass Road.  'm sure you all wanted to hear the latest on Nairobi traffic patterns and hotel locations. I can't remember how many times I've traveled the road to Kisii but the views afforded to you while descending down into the Rift Valley never get old.

I It was a mostly uneventful trip which is fantastic. Four solid days of travel has taken its toll so Saturday was a welcome relief absent of all travel whether it be by plane, automobile, or motorbike.  Patrick the pro driver is someone that I'd never met but who was with the mission helper team last year each step of the way.  You can tell that he's guided tours for a very long time since he is a fount of info on just about every sight you might see along the road from baboon begging tendencies to the latest developments in Kenyan infrastructure.  He was eager to point out how reckless the drivers of Trans Line buses were being as they passed us in both directions.  (He did this because Trans Line buses were the mode of travel that I used while staying in Kenya for longer periods of time and on a shoestring budget.)

Saturday I was able to recover a bit, listen to the Bucks victory over the Celtics on the radio, and meet with Pastor Enosh to discuss many things.  Please pray that St. David's KINSHIP Academy at Etago would be able to overcome any challenges that they face.  Sunday will involve riding with Enosh in his trusty wagon to church services at Chotororo (Pastor Fred Ogendo) and Kenuchi (Pastor Isaac Kemue) and hopefully making it out of the hills before the heavy rains come and make things a sloppy mess.
