Below are the absolutely delicious bananas pancakes we had the next morning :) amazing. Christine- you'll have to add this to your pancake skill list. You would have loved them!
Meet our new friend Whitafred. He is a strong believer and owns the property we stayed on. Here he was giving Kat and I a tour down the river. He has passion for music and restoring the African culture that was lost from ancestral worship. Many believers in Africa have no part of dancing or drums after they become Christians because of the association they often have with calling forth spirits. He loves to share his love of music and his love for the Lord with the guests.
This is what I would call a "water tro-tro". I'm sure there is a more precise term, but these boats are packed with people and supplies going to and from various village markets.
Below: Ada in the evening. This hammock and I had some bonding time while I was there. :) Great reading spot.
Local fishing boats. Old fabric is used to make sails and the flags you see here. Often times, there are sayings like, "Our God will save" or various verses written on the sides of the boats. I was delightfully surprised to see that.
While we were at Ada, we also got to go searching for sea turtles! And we found one! Amazing! From November to February, they come to shore to lay their eggs and then return to sea. I could not believe how huge they are. I am ever amazed at the Lord's creative hand. :)
