Visit with Maruge 5

Today I woke up and Maruge was hard at work making scrambled eggs and the eggs were so fresh he had just collected them. After we ate out breakfast, we hoped into a Matatu heading to Lake Victoria. A Matatu is a small bus with people crammed in and hanging of the sides. They are decorated with bright paint and streamers and they were incredible bright and colorful. They did not care about seat belts but how many people they could fit in one. When we got to the Lake we first went fishing for some Tilapia. Tilapia is a fish that is native to Lake Victoria. After we caught our fish we cleaned it and then fried it and ate it. It was the best Tilapia I ever had the freshest to! After we ate our lunch we sat by the Lake for 30 minutes and digested our food. Them hoped in the Lake for a swim/bath. The water felt great and it was pretty warm to! When we were about to get back on the Matatu and we saw a little Café so we stop in to get some dinner, because it's a long way back to Eldoret. Maruge ordered for us Irio, Sukuma Wiki and Ugali. Irio is a Kikuyu dish that is mashed peas, potatoes and corn. Sukuma Wiki ("Stretch the Week") is Kale and tomatoes. Ugali is corn meal mush and is a staple for Kenyans and is like bread. Maruge ordered for himself a large Tusker Beer. The food was kind of bland for me except for the Sukuma Wiki was delicious! After we devoured our food we got back on the Matatu for a really long and bumpy ride home. I did not feel to good on most of the ride. But we finally got back to Maruge's hut and we both went straight to bed! Here are some pictures of the Lake.
