Went on my first hike here in Kenya on Saturday! I was staying at Fiwagoh with the VO team that is here, and after Sabbath service Benson split all 210 kids into 3 groups.

They were then given 3 separate routes to take. The juniors were to go around the compound, down to the lake, over to see the monkeys, and back. The middles were to go over the hill, down to the lake, and back. Then the seniors were to go up the mountain, back down, and to the lake, and back. I chose that one!

| The view back behind us of the lake - note the rain clouds :) |
It was amazing. I think that is the largest group I have ever hiked with! The view was indescribable and these pics for sure do not do any justice, but here is the view from the top.
And then, as soon as we were at the top and everyone took their pictures, those rain clouds let loose. It began to deluge!! We started RUNNING down the mountain and the whole way back, probably a good mile or two. We were freezing, muddy, and soaked, all 210 kids and 25 team members, from every route. It is a memory I doubt any of us will forget anytime soon! Needless to say, the clothes lines were packed the next day :)
