Christmas Day at Village Market

Yesterday we went to Village Market. This is an outdoor shopping area with lots of things for kids to do.  We have gone to many shopping areas because they they have indoor play spaces for the kids. My biggest complaint so far is that there are no outdoor playgrounds here. We do have a patio but we have to get out sometimes! Here Max is waiting for his turn to drive the little cars. 

Max driving Sam. Max loves this, yet another thing that would never fly in the US, but the kids loved it!

After lunch we enjoyed some gelato!

Today we went to the Massai Market, which is a market where Kenyan's come to sell there handmade crafts. As a "muzunga" (Swahili  for white person) it is hard to make your way through as all the vendors want your attention, saying "sister" or "madame".  I managed to buy a few things but most likely paid way too much! We also had "tea" with our neighbors from Holland who have adopted two Kenyan children. Unfortunately they will be leaving soon. After the holidays, another couple from Holland will come. In a week or so I will check into a school for Max (and maybe Sam) and will hopefully get to do some volunteer work. I miss salads ( too afraid to try uncooked produce), washing machines, and dishwashers!
Love, Rebecca
