Moyale

It was a long road...
we got to see many things...


as well as change a lot of tires!
We went past 'Farole' (a holy mountain for some Gabra) on our way there.
And we got into Moyale despite using ALL of our spare tires! Our party split and stayed at two different guest houses- the two families, Hamptons and Birgens, stayed at one place and us youngins stayed at the Sessi Guest House (I think we picked the better one 'cause we had no mossies and we had a TV!)
Barille, Robe, Barkao and I on the porch of the Sessi Guest House. If you ever go to Moyale, I recomend that guest house, the people are so helpful and welcoming.
This had 'fire hazard' written all over it! So Kev had to get a pic...

We did some shopping... then the guys showed Kevin how to wear his new 'Kalumpa' (the traditional man-skirt).

On Sunday our group split up and went to the two different churches, us young people plus Paul went to the Bori church (1.5 hrs from Moyale). On the way we picked up two students, from the Christian school that Barako will be going to, who came along with us. What an amazing church! The singing touched the deepest parts of the soul... undescribable really.
Barako (in the middle) with the two guys who came with us from the school. We are very excited, as is Barako, that he will be attending this Christian secondary school up in Moyale... it is a great school that has Christian teachers as well as good Christian fellowship (which is hard to find in secondary schools!)
We went to fill up at the petrol station... and this is what we found. Here Barako is getting the syphon going...
And then the lady pumped the petrol in by hand!
Infront of the Moyale church.
Pastor Bonia and his family, he pastors the Moyale church.
Rush hour in Moyale. These donkeys can carry up to 100 leters of water!
One of the lovely longdrops on the trip home... I really hate cockroaches and I have decided that I prefer bushes!
On the way home we drove through 'Dida Galgalu', a very big plains area with a LOT of rocks. This is one of the villages out on the rocks, with no trees or sign of water in sight. Amazing that people can live there. But then, when I describe my home to them they wonder in amazement, "How can you live there? Don't people just die if it is so cold?"
We got to see a hyena!!! And it was still light enough to get a pic of him!
