We had a nice breakfast at the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Ecumenical Center then loaded up and started the trip towards Camp Roberts on Lake Baringo.
We stopped about halfway at the Catholic Diocese Flouride Removal Facility which is helping local communities by supporting water treatment systems for large and small facilities and homes. The systems use ceramic filters to remove bacteria and cintered cow bone to remove flouride. The high levels of flouride are a real problem as they cause the adult teeth to come in brown and weaken the bones of the body.
We lunched at the Yama Choma (The Barbecue Palace) - plates of fresh cooked meat, veggies, fries, and flat bread.
About an hour out from Lake Baringo we crossed the equator where we stopped to get some souvenirs and got a lesson in the high pressure sell.
We arrived at Camp Roberts about 4:30 and were sitting down to a cup of tea in our awesome accommodations within 30 minutes. A helicopter landed about 20 yards from us shortly thereafter.
We are still working on the Twitter updates, but no joy yet.
Lastly, a reminder for friends and family just in case we can't get back online - on our return trip, we arrive at the Atlanta airport at 6:10 PM on Thursday June 24. Not on Friday June 25.
