A quiet day

Today Cecilia and Mary woke up with slightly queasy stomachs this morning so we decided to have a fairly quiet day. We relaxed on the balcony, just going out to collect supplies from the Nakumatt the local supermarket which is found all over this part of Africa.  We had mandazi a type of African doughnut which is not too sweet and a Kenyan staple.


In the afternoon we all felt much better so went to a local walking track which is very popular a rubberised circular track around a local cricket pitch which is free for everyone to use.


For supper we had an organic ugali. Ugali is a white cornmeal staple. however we had a healthier version made with a mixture of corn millet and sphorgum flours. Which contains more fibre and nutrients than maize flower alone which if the only source of nutrition causes protein malnutrition which is a common problem in children . We finished of with banana and yogurt. The banana was purchased from a salesman in the middle of the rush hour traffic.
