I’m ashamed to admit how
much my view of Africa has been shaped by The
Lion King, so that with every similarity I’m saying, “Oh, that’s just like The Lion King!” and with every
difference I’m surprised.
Danny and I enjoyed a
classic safari experience, greeted by Masai warriors…
…who led us to our amazing
honeymoon suite (probably the nicest place we have or ever will stay!).
Lunch with the hippos…
Game drives in the Masai Mara…
Unfortunately, the
sickness of the last month wasn’t quite finished like we’d hoped, and once
again we found ourselves plagued by those unwanted Indian “souvenirs.”
Thankfully, there were a few kind doctors on our safari from Tenwek Mission
Hospital (where Danny had helped with some engineering projects a few years
ago). So, on our way out to Uganda, they escorted us to great medical care. We
were so impressed by Tenwek’s heart and mission statement, “We treat, Jesus heals."
Four days (and one shared “newlywed” prescription of Flagyl) later, we are finally both feeling well and crossing our fingers that this time it will last.
We are now in Kampala, Uganda, loving our time with Danny’s dear friends, the Greenes. Their kids absolutely adore “Uncle Danny,” and they have all made us feel like part of the family. I am so thankful to finally meet this precious family I have heard so much about!
