THIS IS AFRICA !

Saturday I decided that I needed some time away from home to try to get my newsletter typed up. I decided to go to Wamama Kahawa,a coffee shop, which is about a 25 minute walk from my house. It was a very nice day and I greatly enjoyed my time there. On my way back as I was walking and it hit me... I LIVE IN AFRICA. Yes, you would think by now I would know that, but I still get those moments that it really hits me. So Saturday as I was walking I had one of those moments. I am walking down a dirt road, with big and little houses on both sides. Some of those that I call houses really are more like little mud shacks. There are little stores along the way where if I wanted to I could buy fruits, vegetables, candy, material, or assortment of many other things. I also could stop to eat or get my hair cut. Also as I was walking I literally laughed out loud at all the different sounds I was hearing. There were cows mooing, a prayer coming from a Mosque loud speaker, and some loud music playing that was coming from inside a house. Oh yeah and just at that moment a chicken crossed over the street in front of me. If anyone saw me at that moment they probably wondered why there was a big smile across my face. Here a few pictures that were not taken on that street that I was walking on Saturday, but give you an idea of the stores alongside the road. Also the pictures include some of the foods that you could buy at the restaurants alongside the road. So yes, I do live in AFRICA and these are some of the things that make me smile!
