Off the Saddle
I’m back.
Thanks to everyone who sent good thoughts and prayers my way!!!
Well, now that I feel like myself again, I’m tempted to go full speed ahead, although some small part of my brain tells me “Pole Pole” which means “Slowly” My relative, ever the fount of wisdom, told us “In Africa, you can’t ever get anything done that’s worth doing if you try to do it quickly.”
Today we meet Alison, who lives in California and whom we met a few times in San Francisco while prepping for this trip. She randomly met Mama Lucy a couple of years ago when she climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and has made a trip each year to visit and help out as she can.
Alison is going to do a lot of the prep work for the land over the next couple of months, and we’re happy to have some overlap with her.
PS - I told Amanda that I’d title this entry “Back in the Saddle” meaning “I’m back.” She started laughing. “You mean ‘Off the Saddle’?” Meaning, well, you know.
