Pics: Pyramids are Huge...

In Egypt!

So i've arrived in Egypt... beautiful flight from London... got there at night; dear friend, Salma, picked me up at airport!! such an amazing blessing from God. Took me to the PYRAMIDS my 1st day here!!! We rode a camel (when that camel gets up you rock crazily to the right, then to the left, or front/back - but i was sitting side-saddle, so it was right/left for me... i was wearing a skirt; i wouldn't recommend that. i was given a marriage proposal; offered 20 camels, and he said he was a good man who would be happy with lots of wives. ha!! :) i declined, in case you're wondering.

Final Days in Kenya...

Heading to London for 2 days,

Spain for a few hours, on my way to Egypt!

The last day in Nairobi was quite eventful. My mom (and dad) sent a care package for my upcoming birthday!!! Well, they sent it back in Aug to Nairobi, but i still hadn't gotten it, and it was 3 days before i was leaving... [Also, England miracle accomodation story below:]

Pics: Africa Road Trips!

Going to Rural Kenya!

So we rented a car (which reminded me of my own car back home, but the steering wheel was on the other side); and took back-to-back trips...

Pics: Safari!

Kenya Safari!

So I got to go on a 3 day safari!! It was really cool. The price at first set me off. Sheesh, couldn't i rent my own car, rent a tent, and just go??? saving about $200??? but then i thought, well, i guess i don't quite know where to go, where to camp, its not exactly like America... so i paid my money and went.

Leaving S.Africa - Flying to Kenya

Last weekend in Johannesburg, went to Maranatha Church, met wonderful pastor, Dyrek, who is like a father/grandpa to so many people. He is a great dad... so neat to listen to him encourage the people of his church, just like a grandpa or father would - not preaching, just having a conversation with them, sharing wisdom and how to avoid pitfalls.

God Really Is Good.

Sometimes its hard to understand why something happened a way that it did. God can do anything, i believe (and have seen Him do some amazing things on this trip, so i KNOW it), and esp when i think He's led me to believe He will/can do something, and then when it doesn't happen the way or in the time that i have imagined it would - God??? What happened?? Did i hear you wrong? Did i not follow you completely... in the equation of "i obey, God opens doors"...

Take this past situation with getting to Kenya.
