Mombasa With Broadbents

This is Mnt. Kilimenjaro.  Not a super picture, but not bad taken through a car window on the fly!  These are pictures taken when we went to Mombasa in May.

This is called Lion Bridge.  When they were trying to build the railroad from the coast to Nairobi they ran into real problems at this river.  There were 40 men killed by lions here, not all at once, but over a period of weeks.  It has become a very famous place.  We stopped to take pictures of it on our way to Mombasa.

Dad and Pres. Broadbent thinking they can roar as loud as a lion.  The did pretty well, but you can hear a lion's roar from five miles away...  they didn't even come close!!

The wind was blowing...I promise!! I have not changed my hair style!!  Sorry!  We didn't have time to visit the lodge, but we did have time to stop by the sign and have our pictures taken!!

Our view of the Indian Ocean.  Every day we were in Mombasa looked like this.....It felt like San Diego.

This was NOT a natural pose for Elder Pugmire, I had to talk him into it...but he laughed, and so did I!!   A good time was had by all.  You can't sit by the Indian Ocean and not pose!!

Sis. Pugs lounging on the beach...Indian Ocean....I promise I was only there for about 4 min.,  and I promise I did not wear a swimming suit!!

Sis. Scott was having new curtains made, and this is the tailor that was making them.  You can see suits hanging to the right. He had one treddle sewing machine, no electricity, and only three walls, and those were made out of cardboard.  He is a member of the church, very happy, and very friendly.

Children sitting outside of the Tailors shop.  Sis. Scott is showing them a picture that she just took.  As you can see, the children are taking care of the children, and believe me, they do a pretty good job!!

Sorry you can't see dad very well, but camera didn't co-operate.  We are having dinner with Scotts and Broadbents on the beach of the Indian Ocean!!  Does that sound "uppity"???  ...well, it really is the Indian Ocean. The sand grains were about the size of sugar.

Mom carrying darling baby the way I wish I had known about.  The babies sleep so good, and the mom has both hands free.

Pres. Broadbent trying his hand at pushing  "jerri-cans" full of clean water...we were in front of Mombasa Ward house.

This is a baptism at the Mombasa Ward.  I am taking the picture out of the window of the chapel.  The church is on the second floor of a big bank building.  They use this big tank next door for baptisms.

This is on Sunday after church.  We had dinner at Elder and Sis Scott's flat, the girls made the dinner (mainly Sis. Scott) and the boys did the dishes.  Ron, Elder Scott at sink, and Pres. Broadbent.

Masaai hut along Mombasa Rd.  They saw us taking pictures and one man ran out and started throwing rocks at us.   I felt badly that we had apparently invaded their privacy.

These are ?Billabong? trees that grow in the Chyulu area, along the Mombasa Road.  I can't ever remember the real name, so I just call them "Billy-Bob" trees.  They rarely have leaves, and they are hollow.  They make beautiful Halloween trees.
