We returned on Sunday night from a week outside.
I can't possibly tell you how good it was for my soul to be in the remote Loita hills, sleeping in my little tent, making tea over the fire and living under the open sky for days on end.
We visited in many homes and drank gallons of chai and caught up with many Maasai friends. We also hiked the hills, walked in the river, stalked elephants, watched the sun rise and set, bathed in the stream and slept soundly in the brisk night air. We sat around the fire every evening and generally felt overcome by the goodness of Creation and her maker.
Quiet now, Lisa. There is no way to convey the strength and joy and beauty of the week.
A photo log to come soon.
I promise.
( PS The "we" included 6 of us Bordens plus 1 Darrelle Good!)

Pictures of Loita always bring a lump into my throat! Can't wait to see her beauty again through your camera! Glad you had a good time. Any chance you ever get to see Daniel Ole Mesinka?
Carrie, Ole Mesenka came to our camp and spent the afternoon, evening and night with us. So wonderful to see him! He's still just about the nicest person you could ever hope to meet. Some grey hair around the edges and the same twinkly eyes :-)
