I don’t have a lot of time to write today, but since I didn’t post yesterday I thought I’d leave a quick entry. Yesterday, I traveled by bus up Kenya’s coast to the Lamu archipelago (which, so far, I’ve found to be as enchanting as everyone told me it would be). Halfway there, we stopped at a checkpoint and, as usual, hawkers began to gather around our vehicle to show us their goods. Some girls carried baskets of mangoes and bananas on their heads, others waved bottles of fresh milk in the air. One young man had a carton of hard-boiled eggs. Then, I saw a sight that I hadn’t seen anywhere else in Africa: a female hawker approaching the bus with a live, struggling chicken clutched upside-down in each hand.

I really had to resist the temptation to buy one. Other passengers did buy them though, and the poor birds spend the rest of the bus trip (and ferry ride) being tossed around on the ground. I imagine that PETA would be furious.

Ok- I’ll try to post more tomorrow.
