Adventure: Maji Moto (hot water)

 

These are cool hot springs about 2 hours away.  You have to look for crocs before you dive in, but if there are lots of other tourists there you are usually ok.  It has a big undercurrent that drags you around in the pool.  We went with some new friends Clint, Kati, Jack, and Acacia and our lovely house sisters one day for bbq and swimming.

You really have to know the way because you drive through about 6 villages on dirt roads to get there.  The last village which is all mud huts has a huge cement and stained glass church.  I mean it is the middle of nowhere.  You can just imagine some person loved Maji Moto on a trip once and said I am gonna donate tons of money to that village to build a big old church.  I am ok with churches and religion, but maybe they could have donated a bunch of money for food or houses or med clinic…

When we got home the kids were tired, but active.  They wanted to “deconstruct”.  After going for my camera, a computer, the iPod…. We finally talked them into a broken spotlight.  Then we had to set strict rules that they could only deconstruct home equipment if they asked first.
