Something I love about Kenya...

...is that flowers are REALLY cheap!  Kenya produces many of the flowers that get sold across Europe and South Africa (at a huge markup), so it's super easy to find all sorts of exotic flowers being sold on the side of the road for next to nothing.  For example, yesterday I got this bunch of 20 long-stem roses for $1.88...yep, you read that right: less than ten cents a rose!

As a side note, you might also notice the following items in the background of this picture:  American football (one of a kind here in Kenya...gotta love the ol pigskin), Duct tape (along with WD-40, which is also in my room, prepares us for any emergency), sunglasses (yep, it's sunny and summery all the time these days), Turkish Airlines blanket (thanks for that Turkey!) and Brackenhurst-labeled water bottle (which gets replaced in Jane's cottage every day by her housekeeping staff). 

Livin the dream...
