I had to pick my way through a now-overgrown field (thinking of snakes and ticks all the while), and by the time I got there, the whole idea was getting less and less appealing.
But I didn't come that far only to turn back, so...
It's soo far down...

This is the trail heading back to the house. It's unexpectedly sandy, almost like a trail along the beach. My friend and I once found half of a jawbone here. I had no idea what kind of animal it belonged to, but it was pretty cool.

I'm so, so glad I got to visit. It was special to see friends there one last time before I leave for West Africa.
Last night I got to visit two of the three couples who led my small discipleship group. (They are all amazing!) I found myself getting a little teary-eyed as I said my last good-byes. Who knows how long it'll be until I see them again?
But I'm thankful for friendships close enough that make good-byes hard, and definitely thankful that friendships in the Lord will continue through eternity.
