Saturday we were up early and left the St Mary’s convent at 7:00. Our friends Sr Agnes, Sr Marjory, Sr Barbara and Newman accompanied us on the bus with Louis our driver. He managed to dodge all the many groups of goats who ran in front of the bus but, we do think that at least one suicidal chicken met her maker. After many long good byes we boarded Pro Flight and flew over the Congo, stopping in Ndola and then on to Lusaka. We were met at the airport by the smiling Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate who took us the Kasisi Retreat Centre where we will spend two nights before our flight to Addis Abba on Monday the 16th and then from there to Toronto and Halifax.

| Broken down bus with branches on road to warn other drivers. Crazy goats waiting to run out in front of us. |
Lost count of how many foolish goats risked their
lives on the road today.
