Today was a part travel part relaxation day. I got caught up on the blog and got some shopping done for friends back home.
Steph, you asked for photos of the landscape and surroundings. Here you go. Sorry no animals or Safari shots this trip.

| Village on Lake Victoria - horrible water conditions, used for bathing and their "Cho" (bathroom) |
 |
| Another typical village scene |
 |
| Common means of carrying stuff |
 |
| Roadside vendor. We bought lunch here. Avocados on Chapiti |
 |
| A Muslim Mosque |
 |
| Ferry landing - Lake Victoria |
 |
| Their motorized canoe transport to Mfangano Island |
 |
| Typical Village street and setting |
 |
| This morning's catch of Pike, about 80 kg and about 1000 shillings (around $12 USD) |
 |
| Typical roadside shops |
 |
| Typical roadside storefronts |
 |
| Kids at a local park playing musical chairs |
 |
| Little Daisy, my dear friend Steve's adorable 2 year old daughter |
More landscape photos to come. I'm headed to Kijabe today, a different part of the country.
wow, thanks Steve for posting the pictures! We're just back from visiting the in-laws so I'm catching up with your blog. I would take typical village scenes over safari pictures any day. It's fascinating to see glimpses of the everyday life, what a difference to what we're used to in the US or Europe.
