Day #6

Well! Today was a pretty good day! Tina had to go to Eldoret with a baby who had spilt a lit oil lamp on her head, and needed a skin graft, so we offered to look after Caleb (her 6 year old adorable son) for the day, since we told Dalton and Lillian we wouldn't be coming out to the home for today or tomorrow. So Caleb came by this morning, and we played checkers and tic-tac-toe for an hour or so before getting ready to go to deep sea, a swimming pool nearby. We called Jimmy up, who turned out to be quite the guy, and got a ride over.

Was a nice place with a good size pool with picnic tables around it and a very reasonably priced snack bar. So Caleb went swimming while we sat and talked to Jimmy. He’s such a sweetie, and was telling us about different ministries he is running around Kitale and his plans to move to Canada next year. We took turns playing with Caleb. Then I tried tanning for a bit but white skin plus sunbathing just attracts too much attention from the table of guys beside the pool so that didn’t last long! We had a bunch of samosas, fries, eggs, and sodas all for about 10 bucks… love these prices!!

Then Caleb wanted some cake so we headed to the coffee shop, then off to the chemist (pharmacy) to get some worm preventative that Tina recommended we get.. only cost 165 shillings (2 dollars) so hopefully it works! We came back home, and cooked for the first time tonight, a vegetarian spaghetti dish. Then we watched a freaky show on snakes with Caleb, and soon it shall be lala time!
