Excited that Jenn and Skylar were finally in Bungoma, I wanted to show them all the town had to offer. Its quaint characteristics, relaxing atmosphere and friendliness. This is a town where everyone stops to say hello as you walk down the street. Being a very visible minority in the town everyone wants to grab your attention for a minute as you walk by, especially the little children. It never seizes to make me smile when young children run out from their homes or school yards to say "hello, how are you?" as you pass by. The boda (bicycle taxis)drivers rush to offer their services as soon as I enter the street. Yes, I know that they want my business/ money but they are so friendly about it. I just can't help but laugh and smile as they jockey to get my attention. So where would we take Jenn and Sky?
Our favorite hangout - Shenanigans. The bar that Randy and 6 other guys opened in March of 2015.
Then of course one of Jenn's favorite past times, we definitely needed to do some shopping. So a walk into town to the market we would go for a few groceries and the makings of a new dress. The tailor quickly took our measurements and committed to having the two outfits done within a week.
Of course after every good shopping trip, stopping for a refreshment and something to eat is a must. So we were off to our favorite restaurant for roasted goat. We were so excited to introduce Jenn and Sky to this great cuisine but I am not sure they were all that impressed. Honestly BBQ'd meat and salt, carved at the table, how could you not be thrilled.
One afternoon we went for a drive through town and into neighbouring communities as we made our way to Chetambe Falls. The roads were extremely bumpy and dusty, but the trip was well worth it. Where the water comes from I am not sure. Here in the middle of nowhere is an amazing waterfalls. A great place to climb the rocks, relax and take in the view.
