A Day Trip to Machakos

As many of you probably remember, way back in July 2009 we went to ABO (Africa Based Orientation) in Machakos. This is a small, busy little town that is actually kind of fun so about a month ago we decided to head over there for a Saturday family outing .
One of the main roads in Machakos.
As we were heading to a big outdoor market we saw boxes of cute, fuzzy, little chicks! Micah LOVED them! I think he picked up at least 20 of them, talked to them, and gave them little hugs!
The very bright, very busy market.
Typical boy, Micah was enthralled by the arrows he found. A few booths away...a goat-skin covered quiver! Now he was all set to try out the wood and rope bow a missionary kid passed on to him before he left.
It seems that everywhere we go someone always gives something to Micah. He has 4 or 5 beaded or leather Maasai bracelets, he's been given mangoes, bananas, "sweets" (candy), "biscuits" (cookies). etc. On one particular street Micah took interest in some people putting together flower arrangements. So of course, they gave him a flower!

A fun, long day!
