divine

it's been a couple days of long and exhausting travel, but there have definitely been some divine moments. and it started early on with my traveling companion ron. he was the gentleman that sat next to me on the flight from chicago to london. an amazing man with so many amazing stories. we instantly connected and quickly found a common denominator in the continent known as africa.

ron has traveled the world over and has an amazing story. and what's exciting is that his story isn't over yet. he has been in at least thirty of africa's countries over the course of fourteen years of service and has developed a deep love for the continent, the culture, and the people. and he has a genuine and pure heart.

london was also divine. i was able to make my breakfast reservation at the cinnamon club, an upper-scale indian restaurant and enjoyed the entire establishment to myself. spicy vegatables on grilled bread, toast and jam, a small salad, orange juice, tea, and the times. all of this at a table by the window where i could overlook the activities of a quaint little sidestreet. the day also allowed me the time to visit westminster abbey, walk the streets, peruse the stores and surroundings of picadilly circus, take in the tate modern and the tate britian, and arrive back in time to fly to nairobi, kenya. a great day, but exhausting.

i am currently in nairobi and will be leaving shortly for kigali, rwanda. then on to goma in the drc. thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers and questions and challenging words. i am so appreciate of all of you who surround me. cheers.
