#7: Greetings from the White Minority
Just got a couple mintues to write a few words. Over the last couple days we've stocked up on an insane amount of souvenirs. My suitcase will definitively be going back full with Robin. Saturday we spent bargaining like crazy. I had some of my hardest and longest negotiating ever. Guy started at 2500 shillings and I at 200 and it kept on going down/up by 20ties.
Sunay was an incredibly long day that started at 5am and finished at 10pm with us driving to Kisumu and included me falashing people at the matatu station (with my camera), much more bargaining and Robin changing right in the middle of the Sunday market. All in all, although it was an exhausting day, we were pleased with what we accomplished. Oh and on the way back as we were waiting for our matatu we were called "white minority" by someone... really liked that.
Monday we finally finished painting the library. Been more challenging then expected and we were happy to be done with it plus not be covered in blue paint anymore. Came into town today to pick up some more supplies for the library and to take Jane (one of the workers) to the bus station since she's leaving for a new life in Mombasa.
So that's it... more details in the next post in about one weeks time.

PS: we have worm-like thingees in our water but they're usually cooked when we ingest them (hopefully - you can never be certain though... and if not then it's extra protine in our diet).
