2009-04-26: Shangilia and Shopping with Hannah
Morning glorious!
...Or actually good evening...!
Sitting on the terrace at YMCA with Hannah updating my journal...
The restaurant was unfortunately closed... so we didn't get any late night tea.. :(
This morning Hannah, Dakota and I got up at like 7:30am and went down for breakfast... and at around 8:30am we took a cab to Shangilia.
We had so much stuff for the kids, there was no way we's be able to take it all in a matatu!
Since it's Sunday the kids had like a church gathering with singing and later a minister also came to talk (preach) to the kids... But OMG! The singing... Those kids are amazing!
Found this clip on Youtube! :) Some of the kids are singing Jambo Bwana :)
Later on we showed the matron everything we got for the kids! For example all the princess dresses we found! Snow white, barbie, sleeping beauty! They were so awesome!! :)
Also Sammy and Julius asked to talk to me today... And we had very intense talk...
...Don't want to write about it here though...
Then we decided to get going...
Hannah and I wanted to visit the Maasai Market workshop and Adam's again...!
In Nairobi I ran into Ali (drummer dude) and he told us that the Maasai market was located at Yaya centre today!
So while Dakota went back to Karen, Hannah and I took a bus (no 46) to Yaya!
And the Maasai market was there! Not as big as the one down town, but still awesome! :)
And Hannah and I sure made some awesome finds today too! :)
Then we went in to Yaya centre and found a JAVA HOUSE! And we couldn't resist! ;)
And! On weekends you can order of the breakfast menu all day! So we finally got the Fluffy home made pancakes with maple syrup, banana and strawberry jam!!! :D
Washed down with a Malindi Chai Latte ;)
It was sooooooo good!!!
Then we decided to take a cab to Adam's, cause it was pretty close... But still not walking distance kind of close :P
And today we spent like 10 000 Ksh on Shangilia! Spoons, plates, cups, underwear, bras, shoes, shoes, shoes, pants and sweaters!

NEW! Video from Adam's Arcade!
Hannah and I also bought each a suitcase on wheels for the flight home. Well needed!
It was kind of late and Hannah almost got robbed - twice(!) in like 5 minutes.
It was quite crowded and other people around us noticed it, we actually didn't! But the people were protecting us! It was soooo nice of them!
Then we hurried home in a cab, and shortly after we left Adam's they played Dancing queen (ABBA) on the radio! We flipped! :D
The driver must have had a fun ride though...
When we got back we both went through our stuff and now we're here, on the terrace and I'm so ready to sleep! Considering we only slept for like 3 hours last night... And I'm getting up at 7 am tomorrow morning.
Hannah and I will go to Karen to visit Dakota and Bo! :)
Nighty night!
