Retail therapy is certainly hot here! Think I might've overdone it yesterday with 2 outings into town.
The first with R to try one of the many seamstresses in town. Our housekeeper recommended one just after the Masai ladies and before the market. Amazingly we found her just in time to escape a torrential downpour (When it rains we might as well go outside to shower!!) R cringed as I tried out my limited Kiswahili much to the shop ladies amusement. We think we have ordered R a skirt (skirty)....will have to wait until the weekend to see if that is what we get! R is very conscious that the girls are all in below knee skirts like the older women.
L then took me on a 2ND trip to the small supermarket on the main road which she has been to with M. Impressive navigation on her part across town, both of us dripping in sweat. We were rewarded with a very long look round the tiny supermarket in the air-con. We may have to go on regular lengthy browsing trips!
