It’s amazing how fearless and intuitive kids often are! They will try something, when we are cautious, or remember something, when we’ve forgotten. On Saturday afternoon, Anna, Katie, and I took a matatu to nearby Webuye Falls (aka Broderick Falls). After an hour or so of being crammed into a severely overcrowded van (J), we arrived at the town of Webuye. It took quite a bit of negotiation to get a good price for a piki piki, but it was worth it! About 5 km. of stony, hilly road would have been more than we were up to walking at the time! The falls themselves are beautiful and much more extensive than I had imagined. After asking around, we found a path that would lead us around the side of a cliff and to the source of the falls. As usual, there were plenty of kids around who were glad to show us the easiest way to get to our destination. It’s wonderful to have such enthusiastic guides at your fingertips! One of the girls also helped us cross the water, making sure we didn’t fall in :) . We had a fabulous view and a relaxing couple of hours enjoying the water and the surroundings.
Tomorrow we start work on a small project – repairing the gate to Epico Jahn’s Primary School and painting it. Let me rephrase that: having the gate repaired in town and then painting it ourselves. Glad to have something to work on now that school is out though!
We plan on traveling to Kisumu on Friday for the weekend – hoping to see some hippos and buy some hand-crafted jewelry!
Kwaheri,
