Trip to Meru

Friday we left for Meru (a town by Mount Kenya) to see some friends who had moved up there; We, as in Mom, Suzy, and I. I was so excited to get to see Meli, Leyna and their mom, and we had a great time! Meli was my Sunday school student up until they moved away, about two months ago. She and I became best buddies, for every Sunday she would follow me around everywhere, and she was never lacking of a story to tell me. (meaning, she never stopped talking.....but I love her!)

I loved the trip up to Meru, from Thika.....about a four hour drive. It was great driving through the mountains, it's so beautiful up there. Anyway, Saturday we went to the game park.....that was a long trip,(nine hours in the car!) but we had fun together.:-) Sunday we went to Meru Baptist church, started our journey home, and reached home on Monday. 

I didn't like saying good bye, and watching Meli cry as we drove away.:-( Poor girl, she thought I was  staying till December so I can see her graduate from Kindergarten.  

Again it was hard choosing which pictures to put up, seeing as I had so many to choose from, but I finally made up my mind:-)
