For our first Sabbath in Kenya, the entire staff of MAA went on a trip to crescent island. It was a two hour bus ride through some pretty incredible scenery! The island is a piece of private property on Lake Naivasha. It only becomes what most people consider an island when the water rises and cuts it off everything but the built-up entrance road.
We had a lovely haystack potluck (really, I don't think anyone has had a bad meal here! I think we all need to work on moderation...) and then a nice walk around the island taking pictures, and trying to get as close as possible to the animals. There are no carnivores on the island, but plenty of zebra, giraffe, and water buck!

Beautiful, Emily!!! Makes me miss Africa. Well, Tanzania. Ethiopia looked a lot different than that. And I never got that close to giraffes. :) Looks like you're having a fantastic time. HUGS from America!
