Pictures from Nairobi and Juba

 

Here are a few more photos of Juba and our last month in Nairobi.  One of the new things for me this year was that I started running again and I got to take part in 2 different 10K runs in Nairobi.  It was a challenge but I really enjoyed it!  Here I am with my running partner Jill after the fundraiser run for Bible Translation and Literacy.

Before we left Nairobi our small group from church had a farewell party for us.  They even brought a cake and then insisted that we feed it to each other (because we hadn't done that at our wedding!).  We really miss this group and look forward to reconnecting with them when we visit Nairobi.

Now for some Juba pictures.  Here is a group of ladies that visited a local tailor shop (behind us in the photo).  This tailor is well-known for his good stitching and he’s quite reasonable, too (especially considering the ridiculously high prices for everything else here in Juba!).

Here are a couple pictures from around our neighborhood.  This street is just outside our compound, and this shop is at the end of that street.  The shopkeeper here doesn’t speak any English, so we are working on our Juba Arabic!

Last weekend we climbed the Jebel (which means “hill”) just outside Juba.  It was beautiful.  That's Juba in the background--it's actually pretty big.
