September 12th-October 6th

The homestays continued. On the 12th, we went to the National musuem in nairobi. It had some stuffed animals and some other interesting exhibits. Afterwards, we went to a market. The market sold a large variety of clothes and fresh fruit. The hardest part of the whole day was finding a bus back from the market because a lot of them were already full. We ended up taking a cab because the buses just weren't coming. On the 21st of september, I nearly was in a car accident on the way back to Nairobi from the countryside. There were two cars in front of us. One slipped and swerved and hit the car next to him. In order to avoid the collision, the driver of my car swerved the car into the bushes. Luckily, neither the car nor any of the people were injured. The rest of the homestay was pretty uneventful, although we did travel to some towns around Mt. Kenya. On the 6th of October, I left Riruta and spent the night in the methodist guest house. The following monday, we left for Mombasa.
