This has been a fantastic tour. I really like Intrepid. I sent in my evaluation via internet and already I got a reply from Darrel Wade,Intrepid's CEO. Esam's T-shirt say: Act Locally,Think Globally. There tours reflect their belief. They use only hotels owned locally,include in their tours many opportunities to meet local people which encourages interaction in a sensitive,respectfull way,the groups are small so you get to know the members of the tour quite well. We get to enjoy meals in the home of local people. Intrepid supports the Recycle program here which is managed by the Coptic Christians. I didn't know who the Coptic Christians were.
Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting and talking to a Coptic Christian whoes family became Christians when Apostle Mark came to Alexandria, Egypt. Today his wife will come for me at the Victoria Hotel at 9:15am and we will walk to the church they attend. It is her husband Dr. Albert Isteerio who traces his family line to Alexandria and Apostle Mark. Jean,his wife, is from New England. She says that her church helps refuges. That is their main project.
I need to close now but will continue later. There is so much to tell.
I will have my breakfast and then wait for Jean. It should be another interesting day.
My knees are better and I am looking forward to just taking it easy in Nairobi.
Pastor Olaf, Mary,the sister of Lillian who you told me about and I met in Kekaha, is meeting me at the airport in Nairobi. I will also be staying with her. Lillian will also be in Nairobi at the end of October.
Aloha& Malama Pono, Joanne
