The group awoke at 6 o’clock this morning to a beautiful
Kenya sunrise upon the horizon before beginning to pack for the long trip to
Nairobi. While packing, many of us were surprised to see that on the other side
of the fence that surrounded our camp were many of the friends we had made
during the trip. Although this was an unarranged send off, it was one of the
more moving experiences of our stay. Friends such as Toikan and Edward entered
our camp to exchange gifts, take pictures, and say their final goodbyes. We all
then got onto a bus where we arrived in Nairobi four hours later and returned
back to the Masai Lodge. The rest of the day was spent by the pool and
participated in a group activity called “Utopia”, in which we discussed how we
would solve worldly problems in order to create our own Utopia.
Dinner was
served in the evening, consisting of cold sodas and beef stew. Towards the end
of the meal, a celebratory birthday cake was brought out for Chris. It was
super duper fun, and Chris said it was totally the best birthday he had ever
had! The day came to a close with a group reflection.
