Another Day Walking Around

Today we woke up at about 9. Breakfast for us was at the h0tel. We ate french toast without syrup, which sucked, but we managed. After breakfast we ended up heading down to the craft market, about 2 blocks from our hotel. We got a whole bunch of souvenirs (?) but the best part is just haggling for prices. They try to charge ridiculous prices for stuff probably made in Mexico. But we had fun. I'm writing this blog from a crappy hotel computer because my laptop couldn't connect, but whatever. TIA. So we stayed at the market for a few hours, then came back to the hotel to drop our gifts off before heading out for lunch. While waiting at a street vendors for our food, I bought an English-Swahili phrasebook for 1,500 shillings and 2 pieces of gum. Actually 5 pieces of gum...I gave three pieces to three kids watching us. The food I got wasn't what I ordered, so I gave that to the guy as well. We walked around, with no plan at all really, and eventually took a dalla dalla to the Cultural Heritage center (remember? The place with all the white safaris). We did a bit more shopping there before heading back to the hotel again. We then caught a cab to the cinema complex, about 10 miles away. There were A LOT of white people there (I think it's the hangout for white locals). Dinner was good, but it took a very, very long time. Now we're back at the hotel hanging out until tomorrow. Tomorrow we go back to Matonyok, and we're actually spending the night! That should be a LOT of fun, and quite an experience. That means no blog tomorrow night, but two tomorrow. Don't worry...we'll be back alive. Only one week left, plus the 4 day safari. Kwa heri!
