What could be more perfect than spending Mother's Day with your boy? How about doing it in Kenya. I woke up early, made my own coffee and took it out to the look-out in front of Dan's place. From this spot the valley drops off and you can see for miles. The sun rises here each morning and it is enjoyable to sit and listen to the world come awake. Like home, the birds start singing long before the sun. Then the roosters start, then more birds, then human noises of preparations for the day. Before long you have an entire symphony. Click on the link and hear it for yourself!
After breakfast, made by Dan and Adrian, we went into Kisumu to do some shopping. On the way home we stopped at a local market to get some produce. Dan picked out these two large cabbages. Visiting with baby Heather was also an enjoyable way to spend the day and gradually, over time, she got used to the two new muzungus in her life. For dinner, Mercy and her working girl made a traditional Kenyan meal of chapati, rice, beans, and cabbage. For dessert we enjoyed fresh fruit such as pineapple, mango, oranges and bananas. Delicious and nutritious!
It was a lovely day!
