The Gatab Trip

December 27, 2007 by Ted Rurup

The kids play at a restaurant in Nairobi after breakfast before departureLunch on the road at a dry riverbed in the desertTed and the boys went hiking in one of Mt. Kulal’s many rugged canyonsTeah plays with some friends in front of our old house in GatabLiisa visits with some of many visitors while we were thereTeah helps Daddy replace the Land Rover’s clutch at night in GatabTimothy and his new warrior friend LenaitamaungTed stops to lend a hand (and some tools) to a stranded car on the way homeDinner with some old friends the Omollo’s at the overnight stop, MarallalFuel stop.  No gas stations here!Immediately pre-Christmas (and just barely post-flu) we had a challenging, fun, and memorable trip to Gatab. On the way up north, the clutch went out on the Land Rover, which meant a lot of work for Ted, but he still had a chance to hike and do some fun things with the boys there.  The kids loved to play with their MK friends there and had a wonderful time.  I, Liisa, got the chance to reconnect with many dear people.  We were very thankful for an safe passage through roads that have been famous even recently for ambushes and violence and robberies.
