Father Jim is back from his work in Uganda. He phoned yesterday and offered to perform the worship service at Hekima Place this morning. All the girls dressed up for the service.
After lunch, Rick, the Humphreys and I went on a hike up into the hills. The vistas are beautiful from up above Hekima Place. But we were warned by a Maasai up there not to go too far. He said there were lions and Cape Buffalo up in the bush ahead and also ‘bad men’ who had been known to beat and rob hikers. We should only go further if we had an armed guide. I myself am somewhat inclined to be discouraged from proceeding when there is the slightest possibility that I may either be eaten by a lion, gored by a Cape Buffalo, or beaten by bad men. Apparently the rest were as well, because we didn’t go much farther before we turned around, not having seen any lions, buffalos or bad men. Only beautiful views.
One particularly nice view from up the hill was that of Hekima Place. It looks somewhat compressed, but lovely, none the less.
We returned to Hekima Place to rest on the porch and entertain the kids with our cameras and binoculars. The evening light was beautiful.
