Maasai Market

The Maasai Market comes into downtown near the university every Tuesday. This is when people from the Maasai tribe bring all their goods into town to sell. It’s huge! And there is so much cool stuff there! This is where I will be every single Tuesday I know. (especially once I practice how to bargain in Swahili) We just went to see it last Tuesday and didn’t feel up for getting anything. It’s enough to just walk through it the first time. A guy really liked my shirt and wanted to bargain for it. It has all the typically “African” stuff you think of and so much more, I think all of it handmade by the Maasai. I want to talk to them more and learn more about how they make all of this stuff. This is why Swahili is so important for me to learn!!!
