Weekend away

We went away for the weekend for a little break. We drove out of Gabra land, across the desert, around the mountain and ended up at lake Turkana. It was a nice time of relaxing and just spending time together as a team. We are missing Steve and Angie who are down in Niarobi waiting for the coming of thier first baby, but God willing they will be with us again soon.
It was so nice for me to be able to see a lake and mountains... so beautiful.
"teach a man to fish..."
Actually the kids who lived there were more sucsesful without the fancy equipment... but they enjoyed the casting and reelling part!
Kyle is the only one who caught a fish... 3 hrs or so of shore loitering... one measley little fish.
Kaedon hoping to get a fish.
This river is the amazing disappearing river... on our way there these ladies were there hauling water with the donkeys... two days later on our way back this 'river' was no more than a puddle!
My first time seeing camels packed with the houses on them and I was able to get a pic!!!
On our drive to lake Turkana we got to see many camels, as well as a few dead ones 'cause of the drought.
"Maji, Maji!!!!" - Enoch kept on shouting everytime we got close to the lake! Seeing SOOO much water all in one place was quite exciting for us all.
A Turkana lady on the move, she stopped to watch our party enjoy the lake!
Scott, Susie, Kieren, Kyle and Kaedon.
The single ladies! Myself, Gloria and Barbara
John, Pauline, Benson, Ezikiel, Abijah and Abigail (who didn't want to smile)
Paul, Salome, Enoch and little baby Ezra
