Dear Faithful Readers, islanders and landlubbers alike, after a little hiatus we're back! It has been a roller-coaster couple of months on the island, starting with a lovely visit from friends and family but more recently a bout with acute schistosomiasis (Katayama Fever) that had me in the hospital for a couple days because they thought I might have bacterial meningitis. Oh and there was some malaria and other stuff mixed in there as well. Anyhow, I'm feeling great now, can move my head and neck again, and I basically feel like a really blessed owl. Someday soon I will write a few reflections down, but in short, I've come away from all of the recent events loving God and loving Kenya even more, and extremely thankful for the friends and family in my life.
To reward you for your patience (I hope to be posting more now!), I'd like to share a moment that graced our island at dusk a few weeks ago -- a leopard mom and cub hangin out and playing with each other. This is island life. It's good to be back.
Miles,
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing photos. I assume you took them near the village you live in. It must be like living in paradise to see so much wildlife in a natural environment. I can't enjoy going to zoos where these beautiful creatures are confined to ugly cages that bear no resemblance to their natural homes. I'm sorry to hear about your illness and very happy to know you are feeling better now. All the best to you and Katie -
So gorgeous!
