Time Out

Man, relaxation is arguably my favorite of God's creation. This time out at the beach has given me a chance to clear my head and regain my focus. Things fly so fast in life, and I have been so psyched to just slow down and chill.

Gio headed back to Nairobi Thursday night to get going on the rest of the bike project, and I planned to go with him, but that didn't end up happening. I was just basking in the beauty of this perfect piece of landscape, and I felt that I needed a little more time to wait. Gio seemed more than happy for a couple of days alone, which after two months is very understandable, and life has just been great for these past twenty-four hours.

Last night, Isaac, Apilonia (this English girl we've been hanging with (yes, her parents were hippies)), and I just sat around a camp fire and talked about the world. It was great, and because of Isaac's bus schedule, we will probably do it again tonight. Isaac and I will be sharing a cab out to the road tomorrow morning, and we will then head off to our destinations via bus.

I am excited about getting this bike trail thing going, even though I suck on a bike (trust me, Gio hasn't let me forget that). It would be great to have something that we accomplished on this trip, although for me it is a very minor part of what has gone on and been done over here. I have learned and grown so much. I have strengthened my faith immensely, and I have tried to spread as much Love to these people as possible.

Well, I think I have written too much again, so I'll try and stop now. We'll see how the rest of this trip goes. Hopefully, the bike trail will be a painless, team effort, and Gio and I will be home soon, still the best of friends. We are officially in the teens now, so time is short. We have a lot to do, and hopefully not much time to do it. I love you all.
