Which Way Do I Go?

That was the question of the day. I woke up to a beautiful sunny day. I loaded the last few things in my car and headed for the Mt. Kenya area. I have been very excited about this trip and looking forward to it until it came time for me to start driving. Then I wasn’t so sure about it. I looked at the map I bought at the store and almost turned around and went back into my house. It wasn’t a very clear map, but I took off with it in hand and my GPS system plugged in. Traveling up country is not as easy as it sounds. =) The roads here in Kenya are not always marked. In fact most often they are not marked at all. I made it about half way when I had to make a choice between two roads and I began to ask the question “Which way do I go?” After several u-turns I finally took the route that matched the GPS system and not the paper map in my hand. It turned out to be the longer, more confusing, and more scenic route. =) Oh well! I soon came to another “T” in the road and was back on the main route with the map and GPS agreeing.

As I continued on my journey I soon came to one of several tourist attractions, a curio shop. Since I needed a break from driving I pulled in and got out. I looked at all the neat things they were selling and managed to not be the typical female today. I left without buying anything, but I did check out their unusually clean toilets. =) Before I knew it I was soon passing the Aberdares and then off to my right I saw the beautiful Mt. Kenya. Today it was covered in rain clouds. I arrived in Nanyuki town just in time for it to start pouring. I thank the Lord for giving me a safe journey and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for me tomorrow and the coming weeks!
