It is hard to believe that we're heading off on outreach this Saturday. First up to bat is spending 10 days at a holiday camp (think spring break vacation bible school) in Chelmsford, Essex. There's talk about going to Liverpool, Whales or Blackpool after that before we head off on Kenya Airways to Tanzania. Thus, since our time on the Oval is coming to an end, here's a melange of photos to help you get a feeling for what life has been like here.
Mary, Roz, me, Christine, and Ester getting ready for a night on the high street, featuring sweet and sour chicken and shrimp crackers.
Roz's parents came up from Cornwall and made us--from scratch--authentic Cornish pasties and chips. They, my friends, were fantastic, and the
origins behind pasties are ingenious!
My friend Allyson and I wandered into the forest (off-leash dog park) behind the buildings here and found the old orphanage cemetery. This is my favorite grave (and photo) from our time there.
We searched high and low in the forest to find the key to Narnia and Hogwarts--without our GPS units--and unfortunately came up empty handed.
And of course, here's Henry again, this time not shy, but very proud of his accomplishments.
And another street sign showing that their ideal dog isn't a Labrador, but a terrier. And we all know that even terriers produce steaming poo.
