One of the most fun things about
traveling is the ability to bring home some amazing and unique treasures to
help you remember your trip.
Although I am working hard to save money this time around, I could not
help but to pick up a few things to bring home. The way I see it, if I slowly buy souvenirs and gifts during
the duration of my stay rather than picking them all up at the end, I will do a
better job of budgeting. Here is a
sample of the treasures I have purchased and been given this time around:
1. Swahili Coffee Pot
2. Local Coffee Cups
3. Dera/Diras: These are perfect muumuus for staying cool at home because it can be frighteningly hot here.
4. Khangas/Lesos (of course): These are super functional as well as a
cheap and beautiful souvenir

5. Kikoy Robe: I have wanted a robe made of kikoys for a long time.
6. “Collectible” match boxes: Is this a souvenir? I like how they look.
7. Not really souvenirs exactly but
check out these great mugs I got:
8. Candle holders
9. I have also collected lots of seashells and coral:
10. A pretty jewelry box
11. Ring and earrings:
That’s all for now, folks. See how I have controlled myself? I cannot believe it either.
