Day 77 - Video #5






September 26, 2012 (Sam)

      After 14 days without water, our pump was replaced, and we are no longer living out of a bucket. We have come away from the last few weeks with a much greater appreciation for this precious resource. Thanks for the subtle lessons God.







On an unrelated note:

      Many African safari companies brag about being able to show tourists the “Big Five”: the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. Here in Ongata Rongai we boast a different Big Five: the cart-pulling-donkey, the rib-protruding-cow, the skittish-warthog, the street-savvy-chicken and the goat (of which there are also five types: the common street goat, the goat with the distended stomach (or maybe she’s pregnant), the goat that eats campaign signs and advertisement flyers off the telephone poles, the especially rare “goat eating flaming trash,” and the more heart-breaking “goat hanging in the butcher shop window”). Christina and I have already been lucky enough to see all of these impressive beasts in their natural environs! Watch the video below for rare glimpses of Africa’s finest game:
