David makes friends with everyone he meets, today being no exception. His time in Kayole and lots of practice with the drivers, the guards, and anyone else who will banter with him has really improved his Kiswahili. Everyone appreciates that he makes the effort. (I, on the other hand, probably knew more words the first couple of days than I do now. Even the local staff at work speak English most of the day.)
My dear husband got me flowers today from the local flower vendor, Simon. (David briefly met Simon when Travis, he, and I were walking to church last week). I like that David learns people's names and builds trust and rapport with people. Being with him helps me feel freer to go places, do things, meet people...the last time I was here, I spent a lot of time in the hotel (other than weekend trips via plane outside the city).
The flowers David brought home are absolutely beautiful. I should have taken advantage of daylight to get a good shot, but these low light shots will have to do for now. Take a look at that "bird of paradise" flower! This photo really doesn't do it justice.
All of the flowers are gorgeous, and some of them even match the painting that is hanging near the dining table in our apartment.
We're off camping tomorrow morning (an example of something I definitely did not do when I was here 4 years ago). We're looking forward to it! Off to pack...
