Hiking

 This weekend we were invited to join 40 Rohi students on a hike to a near by town. This was in preparation for a hike up Mount Kenya in November. We were very excited, because both Sarah and I love to hike, however we did not realize what we were getting ourselves into. We started off at 7am and hiked for 4 hours through town and up a mountain to another small town. We crossed a few rivers and saw some beautiful vistas. We ate lunch which consisted of beans, rice, cabbage, and chipoti. then started back. We decided to go a different way home which was to be shorter. This was not the case. We walked through corn fields, crossed a marshy river, and walked through pouring rain. After another 4 hours we finally arrived at home. The last hour was rough as our legs were tired and aching. Sarah and I were both out of shape and after about 8 hours of hiking and 15 miles later, we were spent. But we enjoyed the time walking, talking, and eating with the students.
