At the Kenyan Coast

Magnificent is the only word to describe snorkeling at a coral reef. Because of a kind gift to our Team, they were able to take a trip to the Kenya coast, and we went along with them. We took them in two groups, so someone could stay and work with the kids. We spent 2 nights at the Turtle Bay Beach Club, one of those all-inclusive places where you can eat all day if you like! And juices and sodas are always available, and the meals are all buffet, so the Team loved it. They could swim in the pool, play table tennis and volleyball, then go to the beach and play in the ocean.

Very relaxing for Darlene and me. We had time to talk to one another and enjoy one another's company. Of course, we almost spend 24 hours a day together, but there is something about reclining on a mat looking at the Indian Ocean near the one you love that is special!

The Team felt really special. Only 3 of them had ever been in an airplane. Now they are back at work, 24 hours a day with our 45 kids, as usual.

We have used Skype today, talking to people in the USA. If anyone wants to Skype us, we are usually at the Java House with our headphones on our Saturday morning at 7 am. That would be 8 pm Friday in California and 10 pm in the Central time zone.

be happy,
