Day 3: ABC Guest House, Machakos

Early Tuesday we departed from Nairobi via the tough as nails vehicle pictured below to the town of Machakos. It is roughly a three hour drive from what I recall. We stayed at the ABC Guest House. The food was outstanding. Typically we would eat breakfast at ABC, sack lunches on or near our testing site, and then dinners back at the guest house. Esther makes outstanding beef stew & a flat bread called chipati (not sure I spelled it right, but it's pronounced CHIPAHTAY).

Julius & Augustine (We called him "Gus", and at first he thought we were calling him "Gas". Glad we set that straight!) preparing for our daily morning devotionals prior to travelling to the testing sites.

Mosquitos in Nairobi do not pose a Malaria threat to us Americans, but in the more rural areas, we had to sleep (and read at times) underneath a mosquito net. Here, Angie is reading one afternoon.
