Easter in Kijabe (Pasaka toka Kijabe)

This Easter I stayed at the Rift Valley Academy in Kijabe, Kenya. Erica was off in the US getting her wedding plans finalized and so my friend Sarah and I (whom you might remember from my ABO blogs last July) kept the house warm for the weekend. Two other friends came in from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Juli and Kate, who teach at HOPAC, an international school. We had a great weekend laughing and telling stories as we celebrated the resurrection of our savior. Here is a pictoral narrative of the weekend:


This is the view from the airstrip and walking to the cliff that overlooks the Great Rift Valley:
















Easter morning we went to the neighbor, Lori's house for breakfast after the sunrise service held at the football field:

Hanging out with Sarah, Juli, and Kate at the Jander's House at the lower station:




Ok, so the layout is really off in this posting. I was experimenting with having pics on the left and text on the right. I'm not changing it, so bare with me. Thanks and Happy Easter!

Hi, Meghan,
