I failed to mention our celebrity sighting at the Ngong market yesterday. Kenyan markets are alive, bustling and hustling. Being mzungus (white people), we are, simply put, targets. Needless to say, bargaining and negotiating is difficult, unless you have a Kenyan with you. We did, of course, and Paul drives a hard bargain. He also happens to know every other person at every other booth. At one point, he called us over to introduce us to his old neighbor, Robert Cheruiyot, asking us if we had seen him before. Nope, not me. Or Cary. Turns out he is the 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010 winner of the Boston Marathon. Not being runners, we were still duly impressed. I asked him if he was injured, wondering why he wasn't running next week. He didn't say much, but Paul mumbled something about a woman....
We just had to get pictures :-)
