I Am Reminded I am In Kenya When...


1. I find myself already rationing peanut butter, kool-aid, and coffee creamer.

2. I look out of my classroom or house windows only to see monkeys climbing and running on branches.

3. Despite a good pair of quality shoes and lots of bleach, my socks are still red.

4. Plans into and around town are planned around Masi Markets.

5. The 1st thing out of my mouth when I walk by people is "Habari" (how are you).

6. Going into town I can see a 2 lane road turn into a 6 lane road.

7. I have 3 layers of clothes on and every house you walk into has a fire roaring in August.

8. Discovering cell phones over here have a flashlight built in for a reason...Mine has got quite alot of use already.

9. When I purchase an avocado the size of a cantaloupe for 10 cents.

10. Going to the veggie ladies is a weekly routine. (I don't even really like vegetables, but I'm eating them for you mom. They taste alot better out here :)

  1. I love it! Especially the part about the red dirt being inescapable and the monkeys climbing trees like it's normal outside your window! So reminds me of Rwanda too! I love you Cass - keep up the kingdom building ;)
