A trip Up country to Shosho's

This past Monday, Kerry Jividen was asked to go pick up Leah from her Shosho's (grandmother) up country. Leah, known to me as baby Kate, has been adopted and was visiting her new grandmother. She has grown so much. She is super cute as you can see. They live about 3 hours away from Nairobi in the middle of no where. No running water, a kitchen separate from the rest of the house. Here is Leah pronounced- Ley-uh.

We had to use the out-house and the hole was small and angled weird- I missed. hahaha We went through at least 10 check points, but never stopped us- since we are white. :) Sometimes-that's why they do stop you- haha. It was a 12 hour day. OH, Yea, I ate Kenyan food. Very little- I haven't changed that much, but I am branching out VERY slowly on my food intake. Shosho kept trying to force food down us. So a good traditional Kenyan day. We dropped Margaret and Leah off at their apartment which has 3 rooms and is smaller than my kitchen and living room. It was jam packed with furniture (and calenders).

Going to look for the sheep.

Calendars hang everywhere in lower class homes here. I counted I think 7 at Shosho's.
