• KM and the bush

  Posted: July 23, 2007, 8:16 pm by KenyanMusings

  Usually I don't mind it. Going to the bushes.
  
  As long as I have sunscreen, water, apples, crackers, wet wipes, hand sanitizer (for all the hands I cannot avoid shaking) a translator, security and I travel in comfort with a driver who will not talk toooo much like that M***, Ngutness! he never shuts up, kila saaa stories stories.......UGH! *gasps for breath* Seriously I am so not like some people who need to travel with their sijui bags full of make up ........*shrugs* For what now vile there is not even a place to shower or electricity or chaps to impress sijui with Long lash Mascra...how now??
  This one though was the harshest harshest trip eeeeeverrrrr. For 2 days I did not eat vile *gaaaaag* and on the third day, close to breakdown, I closed my eyes and ate something.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Mi Casa. The roof houses only like 50003 bats with human like faces that hang like pendulums on the roof...ewwwwww, they don't fall in..there is a mesh but they make munching sounds and all. Eeeek! and the whole house reeks of bat poo. Cool bananas! How fast can you say Hardship? Per diem?
  
  
  

  This Fugleee *smh* I started calling him/it Abdullahi because it lived in the compound and everytime I got out of my hut, it would be there in all its fuglee glory yukk! Eating soil!!!! and I would yell at the dude who wanted to convert me into Islam so he could marry me *shrugs* he does not have enough head of camel to sustain my town habits me....to come take it away and Abu would just saunter off with his tail at a 90 degree angle.
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Then you set off in search of human signs, babies to be precise or pregnant mummies...not that you can tell....what with the buibui and all?
  
  
  
  
  Stop to do pee pee on the way and take a shika kiuno pic...mwehehe, fret not ...no one cares that I have not had a proper bath in 3 days....
  
  but when you get to where the people are you have to cover up....and the top too
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Human signs.....yaaaay!!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  And Looook!!!! A hospital!!!!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  With a place where if you are bold enough to climb, you may get phone network...
  
  
  
  Network......NOOOOOT.
  
  
  
  
  And adorable Hawa not feeling too good and she walked for about 30KM with her mummy to come to hospital *sniff* Sometimes she walked, sometimes mummy carrioed her...*sniff*..... but she is going to get better
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  And when you get back to town....you can have henna on your feet by the woman who makes the brides pretty ......She would not let me tell her what to paint because we could not comminucate so she did her own things. Not too bad.
  
  
  
  And some more Henna
  
  Finished foot. It will fade off in two weeks so *shrugs* It looks very pretty though, I like it.
  
  
  And a henna flower on my tatas...
  
  
  
  

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
