Earrings!!!

On Sunday after the special talk me and kyran went to the Masi Market, which I's pretty much the same as a flea Market but smaller. It's the place every tourist wants to go shopping for all the African goods. So we were just looking around and I saw some nice earrings for myself;). I asked the vendor how much they were and he told me 1,500 shillings which is about $20! I told him "Onaninonga!!" which means " your killing me man! Or your choking me!" i was smiling the whole time and said "IM not a tourist so IM not paying that price sorry ". It would have been 3,000 shillings for the two pairs I wanted. He asked me where I was from, I told him " Nanyuki"!! And then he said: " You people from Nanyuki love to bargin"! Then I said: " yeah plus IM Mexican and we love to bargin even more!!":) I then told him that I grew up on the market ( traders village), and that my dad was there every weekend! So i know all about it :) Then he asked where I originally came from I said "Texas". Then another man said " Texas Rangers!!" I said yeah and Dallas Cowboys!!! Then the man said "ahh good game last night". We all started laughing, I told him that my sister Ana went to that game and that i was jealous!! In the end all was cool and we had a good chat. I talked him down to 100 shillings for each pair of earrings, which is like $1.50 each!!! Ah yes! Kyran was glad for me but then he felt bad that he was ripped off big time buying an over priced kikoy :) oh well good times good times!!! Ok we shall talk soon, IM actually writing all this from kyrans I phone because we forgot to bring the computer from his parents place. So sorry if the sentences all run together!! Till next time! Love Drea :)
