Soko na Mboga

April 22, 2009








Market and Veggies. We took Shelby and Mary to town today and let them meet some of the vendors who sell vegetables, fabrics, and also showed them where to buy hardware supplies, get a tire fixed, buy canned goods, the butcher, the bank, gas station, post office...... All important things to know here. Mary bought fabric to get sown into a dress buy my friend Gabriella, and we got to meet her sweet baby Elizabeth again. We even ran into our young friend Fabiano. He helped us translate at a clinic we had not far from town. It was an exciting trip but I was even a bit tired after shopping and talking to all the locals. And we all were a bit dirty from all the dust and dirt flying around. Learning Kiswahili will definitely help the new guys get around.
