After breakfast, we headed off to Tigithi School carrying spades and picks to dig those foundations. We had to shift the roots of a couple of cedar trees that were right in the middle of the new classroom. The stone for the building was being quarried near the river, and brought to the site in a cart pulled by two sad and weary donkeys.
After an energetic morning we walked back to the Blue Line for lunch and then took the truck to Nanyuki to get snacks for the mountain (for Mark and Steve and me) and for their time at the orphanage for the others. The truck needed some attention at a garage, so we had quite a long wait, and of course folk were trying to sell us trinkets or food if we wandered around, so in the end we just stayed in the truck.
I spent the evening finishing packing - almost everything was ready for the big day tomorrow!
