Pictures of my weekend...

The market in Mbita - bought avocados, mangoes, onions, potatoes, tomatoes and sakuma there.

Kayleen and I - and my hair! What do you think? It took about an hour and seriously, my head was a little bit on fire afterwards. But it feels so nice to have it off my neck for a while!

This is actually part of a great series, but I wanted to share a few others with you and so couldn't load all of them - you'll have to see them when I get back! Felix and Kayleen were bringing maize to be ground to flour for ugali. The series starts with them fixing the cloth on their heads and shows them lifting these big buckets on top - pretty talented.

Kayleen - so sweet! The first day, every time I'd walk in the room, she'd just stare and if I'd look at her, she would just smile and duck her eyes. She got more familiar towards the end of the day.

This woman brought us water with her daughter - they bring it up on donkeys from Lake Victoria every day. Her daughter was bringing in a fresh jug of water and knocked down ALL the dishes in the kitchen (the dishes are in a big crate sitting on top of a bucket) so we had to rewash everything, as you'll see below.

The sunset from their place - such a great view, isn't it?

Doing the dishes - it took almost an hour to wash everything, which, in the scheme of it, isn't so bad, but when you're planning on making breakfast, feels like forever!
