Day 59 Eldama Ravine July 6, 2011

Greetings

We started out the morning packing and getting ready to leave Maralal for Eldama Ravine by .  We really needed to be ready by since we were going over to Jane’s and Pastor Moses home for breakfast.  Jane had prepared us some mendazi, chips, and bananas.  The mendazi’s are really good and I would think that they could be converted into jelly filled, cream filled, sugar coated, donut substitutes.  Susan tells me that not all mendazi’s are created equal and that some are not as porous as the ones we had this morning.  I really believe a Krispy Kreme donut shop would do well in Maralal.  We would just need to figure out how anyone could afford one or a dozen. 

We were off for our journey at a little past and what a long journey it was.  There were times that the road was so bumpy that my feet would vibrate across the floor board like one of those electric football games from years ago.  Six and a half hours after leaving Maralal we arrived in Eldama Ravine.  We did not see any elephants but I did see a few camels now and then.  Once we got to Sunrise Acres it was time for a nap.  Poor Ken he had to drive and let me tell you it was a good six hours of a constant obstacle course of potholes, gullies, rocks, goats, cows, and even a few camels.

Tomorrow Bishop Hezron will be in Eldama Ravine to pick Kym and I up for another long ride to Eldoret, Moi’s Bridge, and then back to Kakamega.  We will be taking Kym to his home in Moi’s Bridge so we can look at his parent’s one acre farm to see the potential for a passion fruit orchard.  Should be a wonderful day on my kidneys.     

Take care and God bless

Dave
