Last night we went to Nancy's house and ate with her and her husband Alfred. She made us a traditional Kenyan meal. We had goat meat, ugali (made from corn), sukuma wiki (kind of like collard greens) and to drink we had chai. She also cut up some pineapple for us too. Then we had cake that Julie had left over from Liam's birthday party. I felt like I was going to explode because I ate so much. We ate with are hands too so I was pretty messy afterwards. They talked about how they get married, they have to get permission from the parents and they also have to give them some cattle and a certain amount of money, and the women aren't allowed to know what he payed for her. It's all men who discuss the payment. Julie also had some pictures of snow for them to see because they had never seen it before. They don't eat until late like around 9:30-10:00, and right after they go to bed. They showed us their wedding pictures. It was a lot of fun and the food was good. It was really neat to see how they lived in just one room.
Today we are going to the orphanage and I believe we are staying there for two nights or more it depends. It will be a lot of fun! I might not be able to blog for a few days because I don't know if we will have a good signal but, I will see. If not I will just tell you all about it when I get back. I better go pack and its almost time for lunch so talk to you as so as I can, bye.
