Exploring the bustling Kamba market...









After delivering books to Starehe Boy's School in the Eastleigh district of Nairobi, we stopped to poke around at the large Kamba market nearby. This is a real working market when you can see many artisans and employees at work making beaded sandals, woven baskets and decorative gourds. This market has a very different atmosphere than the more commercial Maasai Markets at the big malls in the city. We originally stopped to buy some woven shopping bags but, of course, ended up buying a few more items. While shopping, we saw a car arrive that was full of live chickens. It didn't seem to be a typical delivery vehicle!
