My Visit with Maruge and Friends
I got on the plane last night. By now, it's early morning and I'm watching the sun come up through the small plane window. I can see girraffs roaming the plains. The clouds are tinted a orangish color. I haven't got any sleep since the night before last night. I'm so exited! I'm going to Eldoret, Kenya to visit Maruge from "The First Grader"! Last night we passed Mt. Kenya, a big, beautiful mountain. The flight attendant pointed it out to us. Right now, we are flying over Rift Valley, a giant valley that is very deep. It has a ton of volcano's in it. It is an exquisite site.

Anya, I was soooooo looking forward to more details about your visit with Maruge. I love traveling with you so much. Your words so often echo your voice and you are sensitive, observant, adventurous, and compassionate. I was hoping to read about conversations you had with Maruge...quiet times in his garden...sunrise/sunset walks...shared stories at night by candlelight in his hut...I'm sorry your blog was so brief this time. I would have enjoyed hearing more. I think Maruge would have too.
