Independence Day

While I would’ve loved to see those fireworks and celebrate our country’s independence, this is why a Kenyan celebration was equally rewarding.

1. Ate 50 cent gelato and a Fayaz icepop while Andrew looked through bootlegged movies. We even found the Chuck Norris collection and I was reminded of the joke “When Chuck Norris jumps into the water, he doesn’t get wet, the water gets Chuck Norrised.” I apologize that I think that is so funny every time I hear it. (ps if anyone is dying for a movie, let me know and I’ll look).

2. Entered the Second Supermarket which is the Kenyan DI. But, of course, the clothes are leftovers from the US and Europe. We found a never-ending amount of bags full of t-shirts for marathons, company picnics, etc etc. In the process, I bought American Apparel t-shirts for a buck fifty a piece. What a steal.

3. Explained to David and James why we have Independence Day, and I think I explained it wrong. Oops.

4. Ate a chicken burger that was out of this world. Cucumber on chicken burgers is such a great idea.

5. Fell asleep at 8:30 because I was so exhausted from all the fun and possibly dehydrated too.

So while we didn’t participate in an American Independence Day, Happy Holidays from us kids in Kenya.
