   Today we had some time to do a bit of shopping. I was happy to return to Kazuri Bead Factory and buy some more of the beautiful beads and watch the women make them. The clay comes from Mount Kenya. In the town I bought some string to make a necklace with my beads, Lee was showing people how to make them. I think by the end of the trip we all had necklaces! We were able to walk to the Utamaduni Crafts Centre, the area is so beautiful, I enjoyed the walk.
   The camp laptops were occasional connected to the Internet. We had opportunities to sign up for time slots to write emails home through the camp email. We were instructed to tell our friends and family to write us emails to the camp's email address and use our name in the subject line. Today was the first day we connected to the Internet to receive emails and I was overjoyed at hearing from people back home in Canada. 10 years ago today I experienced the incredibly simple joy of reading an email from my parents.
