Lake Tanganyika!

Yesterday we took a holiday to go to Lake Tanganyika!

We wanted to go before my dad had to leave. Since next week is exam week for the kiddos, and this weekend would have been way crowded, we went today.

The lake is the 2nd deepest in the world, fun fact.

Bujumbura is on the lake, but the part of the lake it's on is not fit for swimming because of pollution, hippos, and crocs… There have been a few horror stories about the crocodiles.

We drove out about two hours to a resort called Blue Bay. It was a perfect day, the sun was out, and the lake had some nice waves.

Okay, I know that my doctor told me not to swim in the lake, but I did.
So far, I'm okay. And it was so fun! The beach is made up of tiny stones. Banana trees are everywhere.

We ate lunch, and it was interesting to see how the African system of service works.
…sloooow. But it was a fantastic place to be stuck at waiting for food. And the food was really good!  Fish kabobs!

I have some great pictures to share, but sadly, they are on the camera. In a week or so, this blog will be overwhelmed with pictures (hopefully. Please pray the package with my connector cord comes soon!) I was able to use my phone to snap a few pictures.

On the way down...

Thank you for your prayers, love, and support. There is a lot God is teaching me through this whole experience. Reliance on Him being the big one.

Do write me! My internet isn't very frequent, but I will do my best to reply!

Much love in Him,
