A Few Signs We've Enjoyed!

We often see interesting signs when we're out and about, so we decided to start taking pictures. The first is near a cemetary we often pass on Langata Road. We really have no clue what it means!

While sitting in stop-and-barely-go traffic on our way out of Nairobi one day, I spotted this sign outside a little shop. Buy your shovel, broom head, rope, and oh yes, don't forget your housegirl!

Lastly, my favorite! I spotted this sign while waiting in line to check out at Uchumi, a grocery store. Around the holidays I came to realize that the increase of the goats I was seeing was not because people were getting pets or starting small herds. It was getting close to holiday meal time! I haven't seen the two white goats that first showed up in the field in our complex, but the black and white one is still happily grazing!

Internet...

I had no intention of writing about the internet, especially since I have not posted in almost one month. However, the reason I have not posted in almost one month is because of the wonderful internet!
I do not like to be on the computer during the day because of Micah, so the only time I have to get on the internet is at night after Micah is in bed. Well, it just so happens that the internet strength decreases significantly at about 4pm and doesn't get better until around midnight, if I'm lucky! I know this because I was up that late one night trying to complete one post! Take tonight for instance. I have been trying to upload one image, compressed and all, for the last hour.
Not only is the connection really bad, but it continually disconnects! "Dial-up" comes to my mind!
Our intention is to get a new internet service called Zuku. They claim to have very fast and very reliable connection! They actually come to your house and install an antenae of sorts on the roof of your house.
So, stay tuned! Please be patient with us and keep checking back!
