Another day of saying goodbye to half our team in the morning. Sepp and Muriel went to Sweet Angels to work on the bridge, while Felix and Julius spend their day at KYC to dig a hole for ground analysis and stake out two of our favourite drafts on site.
At the moment the bridge is probably way more intresting to you, so let’s talk about that. In the morning Sepp and Jolvet (handyman/father) took care of the building site, while Muriel and her good friend Lena (who coincidently is in Kenya since Tuesday) went to the marketplace with Christine and James (Sweet Angels administration). They got some nice carrots, peppers, tomatoes, flour and lentils, which they then prepared for lunch.
In the afternoon construction of the stairs and sides of the bridge continued, until at around 6pm we actually topped out! Now everything left to do is to strip the formwork, which we will do on Tuesday.
Tonight we were invited by Tony (local nyendo-employee and good friend by now) to spend the night at his place. For easter holidays we will retrieve to Mt. Kenia to spend two nights there with some friends. Tony will also join us at Mt. Kenia, together with his girlfriend/Irmgards daughter Kathi, their baby Mia, Lena and Kai (an american nyendo pupil). We really look foreward to some leisure time, but have planned to do some drafting nevertheless!
