Saturday, June 26, 2010. The Adventure Begins Here. As many of you are aware, I have longed to go to Africa for a very long time. I thank you so much for your encouragement of these desires.

He's been nicknamed 'Dances with Chickens' He goes and checks the coop everyday for both eggs or chicks. It's a good thing too because there are about 13 chicks just in the time we've been here! But it's not just chickens: he LOVES birds! When we were still in Kijabe, all he could talk about was wanting to be here and go bird trapping! Even Rachel says she's 'wierd smart'. She an...

http://beccaisinafrica.blogspot.com/2010/10/adventure-notes-from-quote-book.html
Thursday, October 14, 2010. An adventure and notes from the 'quote book'. I have SOOOOO much to say! But since Emma has already said a few things I would only be repeating, I'll be directing you to her blog. She put in so many hilarious details, I really couldn't have said it better: emma-coates.blogspot.com. And if that has not enticed you enough perhaps this photo will:. And yes, that would be a broken rear axle! Now for some humor and pure randomness:. Because it is very modest here, I often say 'Ah!

African Adventure: July 2010
http://beccaisinafrica.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Pics of Art for Sale. This is my art up at Zoe's coffee shop. It's not in a high-traffic area unfortunately but please look for it if you are there! This one sold already! Even though it was hard to let go, I'm glad I did, especially as someone with connections to the 'art world' bought it! A triptych batik I made only a month ago. Man, this one is gonna be hard to let go! From the imagination of yours truly. It's ok if you don't understand! Friday, July 9, 2010. Emma is in Kenya.

African Adventure: Prayers for Kalacha
http://beccaisinafrica.blogspot.com/2010/10/prayers-for-kalacha.html
Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Greetings from the church in Kalacha! To the Gabbra traditions. They had many who went to the Catholic church, but all continued the sacrifices and rituals of their past. When the Protestants came and tried to unveil the syncretism of their faith, no one accepted the 'hard road'. They didn't see why they had to either, considering the easy road the Catholics had offered. It took 18 years for the first believer to accept the gospel at all! I saw this little guy yesterday).

African Adventure: Miscellaneous Joy
http://beccaisinafrica.blogspot.com/2010/11/miscellaneous-joy.html
Wednesday, November 3, 2010. I'm developing a Kenyan Accent. I apologize ahead of time to any and all whom I use it on when I return! I use it on Emma quite frequently now, and she 'tells me off' for it! On Monday a fish lorie (truck) from Lake Turkana got stuck in the Chalbi Desert. It was in the clay layer of earth underneath the sand. Eddie went to free it and he was paid in fish! So we've had plenty of meat lately! The fish lorie was still stuck on Thursday though! It kept sinking deeper and deeper!
