The Day Before

the Day Before

8:35am and all is well, sorta.  Turns out we have no water here at the farm. For some reason the water has been cut off for everyone on this side of the road. The water we have left is in the tank that comes directly into the house, so I’m not sure how much longer it will last. I just pray that I’ll be able to take a shower tomorrow. There is an upside to this, at least we have power, for the time being. 

We are getting ready for tomorrow and the big event of the summer season. We need to be at Muttai’s at 2pm and then we start peeling potatoes, and preparing the vegetables, and the men will butcher the chickens and the bull. I’m in charge of the gift tent, so for today I’ll be peeling potatoes and helping prepare the veggies. Tomorrow after the ceremony, I’ll be in the gift tent for most of the time. I’ll also be taking photos of the wedding. I want to put an album together for Sammy and Eve after I get home and then send it to them.

Here in Kenya there is an abundant supply of fresh fruit. Mango’s, papaya, and bananas are readily available and taste better than anything I’ve ever had in the states before. OH and I can’t forget avacados either.  They are served along with most meals and boy are they yummy. 

Well it’s time I get busy. I need to wash some clothes.  Here I go.
