Because it's Market Day in Webuye

The other day when we were in Webuye they had market day! Market day is usually once a week in a community and that is where you can buy what ever you need for the next week. People come and sale everything from fruits and vegetables to underwear.

People put out plastic and than their goods sit on them. It is a giant flee market. I could go and buy material to make a dress, than pick up some soap, some used shirts and trousers, jewelry, eggs, a chicken, wash basin, some rope and some potatoes for dinner.


It is a wonderful place and I am always overwhelmed.
I love to walk through it looking for a bargain, enjoying the vendors yelling prices and items in Swahili over a cheap amplifier, and watching the ladies work and care for their babies. It is very much a part of this culture and something I always enjoy.
