Game Park and Basketball Court


We got a basketball goal over furlough that the Richters graciously let us pack in their container. When faced with the possibility of either paying for an expensive concrete slab that would only benefit a cement conglomerate or paying a bunch of ladies from Dano Pari to put down a much less expensive earth and manure surface that thus contributed to the local economy we went with the latter.

However, since we missed the trip to the game park, while the Homewood visitors were here and since we don't just love the smell of manure, we took a little trek to our little game park in Burkina Faso. Andrea had never been and it was a great chance for her to practice some of her photography. We were really blessed to see some big animals especially lots of elephants in the wild. We had better pictures than this one, but I just wanted to give an idea how close to our truck a bunch of 5 ton animals were. We even got to see buffalo, which I had never seen in Nazinga before even though I've been many times. I will hopefully be posting many photos from the trip soon.
