Random thoughts



Sorry that we haven't posted in a while. Busy! We're about to head toward Kisumu, on Lake Victoria, for four days of up-country visiting. We've long wanted to meet Michael and Risper's family in their country home, and this is the chance.

This picture is from the Wachiras' home.... a harvest of avocadoes from their tree. Two huge gunny sacks were taken to feed Margaret's pigs. Shall we say that avocadoes are not as expensive here as in the US?

This second picture takes some explaining. If you look carefully at the glass bottle, you will see that the top and bottom are sort of frosted. This is what happens when you use and reuse a bottle, and it rattles around next to other bottles. Sodas are ubiquitous in Kenya--you can get a coke anywhere, and I do mean anywhere!--and the bottles are definitely reuseable. It's something small I enjoy.

We'll probably be out of email contact for much of the coming week. Will try to post when we return!
