Our first day in Meru!

We all had a lovely relaxing morning sunbathing and swimming/pushing Matthew in the pool ;)
Had lunch with Margret and her daughter Joy which was lovely. The weather has been scorching today. Mrs Mac and Mrs Kerr BOTH have sunburn...thought they were meant to be the responsible adults!
We were taken on a bit of a tour around Meru today. We were taken to the council of elders building and a waterfall which was really interesting

We did some off road driving into a forest to go and view one of the oldest trees in area. It was so large that nine of us to determine the width. We also never thought that we would go looking for elephants in flip flops... it's fair to say that we all stayed VERY close to soldier with a rather large gun who accompanied us. We had our first visit to Meru High School where we met some of the teachers and signed the visitors book.

Tomorrow we will be going to church and singing a few hymns for the congregation in which we still need to practice.....it may just turn into a solo for Mrs Mac! We are then going to Margret's for tea in the afternoon.

Running out of adjectives to describe our time here, amazing, brilliant.....at this rate we won't be coming home!
