[the africa diaries] day eight: a retreat to remember
From:  bibledude.net
Good morning Mount Kenya! The picture above was the view through the front door of my tent as I woke up in the morning. As the sun was rising enough to light up the sky, it still had not risen enough to creep over the top of Africa’s second highest peak.

I didn’t think that I would see very much would be able to top our experience last night, but I knew that it would be good to fin... Read Full Story
