Restocking the Shelves - A Trip to Nakumatt

After being gone for 3 months, we had to restock the shelves as the cupboards were bare.  So, a trip to Nakumatt (Kenyan Wal-Mart) was in order.  Here are a few photos (yes, I'm posting pictures of our visit to the grocery store):

 Shopping for light bulbs . . . again.  The box says that they should last 6 years, but must of our bulbs last about 6 days.  It could be the power surges in Kisumu or it might be the scary wiring in the attic of our house. 

Seth & Lyla check out the cakes in the bakery.  Amazingly enough these same cakes have been in the display for the past year!

I love the toy section of Nakumatt, because of all of the Chinese-made toys.  This is a Spiderman Skateboard knock-off.  Infringing on Marvel Comics' copyright wasn't enough, so they added copyright infringement for Element Skateboards in the upper left-hand corner.   The best part is the inscription on the box:  "Function:  Move forward the skateboard will be raised at back when the skateboard will turn back."

 

Patra:  I don't know what it is, but I know that I don't want it.

Mother's Recipe?  What, your Mom never made Lotus Roots?

Connor & Seth model the different varieties of shelf stable milk.  Yum!

Middle Eastern Capri-Sun!  Woo-Hoo!!!

This photo was taken right before I had to tell Seth and Lyla to stop playing with the dead flies.
