Kickin it on the streets




Everyday we go out practicing our language with folks around our home. These pictures were taken about 10 minutes walk from our house. Its hard to practice in our neighborhood since its all foreigners. Everyone in the neighborhoods around us (we are actually in a "Complex") is very helpful with language practice and they love to sit and chat. No matter how long you stay they are always saying not to rush off. Sort of like Glasgow without the "Ya'll go with us." I am trying to teach that, though!!!

The thumbs-up lady is Angie's friend. She runs the little shop you see in the background. Some ramen noodles, bottled water, instant coffee, fresh veggies, candy and other mini-mart essentials are available there and in shops like that every few hundred feet.

The boys are like kids everywhere expect Mandera (wink to Eric and Brian). These guys were literally begging to have their picture made.

The blogger site makes upkeep pretty easy. We don't want to be forgotten so we try to stay up to date. The only thing worse than no website is an old one.
