Our Neighborhood

I took this picture on a recent hike. The arrow on the left is pointing to Rift Valley Academy, The arrow on the right is pointed toward the hospital. The bottom arrow is Old Kijabe Road. It goes from RVA down through Kijabe town and on to the lower valley road. To go from the area of the hospital, through the forest to the road, then up to RVA, and then back through the forest to the hospital is a common exercise loop for those of us serving at the school or the hospital. Our house is located in the forest about equally distant from and between the top two arrows. It takes me about 40 minutes of walking, heavy breathing, and sweat to get to this lookout. I love walking these forests inhabited by the seen monkeys and baboons and the unseen leopards and hyenas

Back in Kijabe

We are glad to be home! I am working again in the hospital. In fact this weekend I have been busy covering the ICU. I am glad for the meaningful work, and again I am impressed with the challenges of doing good care in complex situations. Allison is teaching at RVA, and the kids are in school. We all feel a hole in our lives where David was, however it is not a painful hole, but a sudden missing of having him around. We are happy for him at ACU! He seems to be having a good time. The weather has been beautiful overall, and that has allowed us to get out and do some walks on the weekend. All these pictures are taken within an easy walk of our house. We live in a beautiful part of the world. We are thankful!
