We roadtripped across Africa to get to our meetings in Kenya. It was quite the trip. The scenery was beautiful, changing nearly every minute. You could look out the right side and see mountains and on the left a desert plain. It was absolutely gorgeous and a tribute to the glory of God.
I was really excited that they let me drive part of the stretch. We were in a HUGE car and I was the only girl to
drive. Don’t tell my Daddy though. I think he gave instructions about me not driving… but I must have missed those. While we were driving, I experienced my first flat tire. I had no idea what was going on. But with a seasoned male driver in the car he calmly told me to pull over. We pulled over in the most beautiful place. With mountains all around, the girls took pictures while the guys worked on the car. I tried to be helpful every now and then, but I think I was just in the way mostly.
While the guys worked, lots of little people came out of the woods to watch the action. They just sat and stared at the Wazungu caravan. Some little goat and cow herders made their way with their herds and just hung out. We made friends with the little guys and even got to pet the goat. Here’s a few pictures of our flat tire experience.

The men actually hard at work on the flat tire!
The perfect location for a flat tire! In the middle of God's beautiful creation.
Just a few of our newest friends.
And the cute little boy holding the cute baby goat.
I told you we made lots of new little friends!
And just in case you were curious, we arrived to Kenya safely. No more flat tires and nothing too dangerous! Karibu Kenya! (That's another new friend. I'm really good at making friends here!)
We drove past Mt. Kilimanjaro on the way, the tallest mountain in Africa. But with the clouds we couldn’t see all of it. But on the way home from Kenya, we flew over it. It was amazing. Here is the snow-topped mountain peeking through the clouds.
We had a great time in Kenya. We snuck away from our meetings a few times and had some fun in Nairobi. We even got to visit a park one day!
Fountain Fun! I think Africa makes me a little crazier every day. Or maybe I started out that way.
And the best part of all was getting to hang out with my Mom. If you don’t know her, you’re really missing out! She’s about the most fun anyone could be!

You look soo skinny...you better not get skinnier than me ; ) I decided you are a much better friend, since you post more on my blog than I do on yours...and mine doesn't even have fun pictures! I'm glad you are having fun adventures and making wise choices...even now that Katelyn's there!! I love you and may make a road trip soon....I can drive through gun fire, right?!
