no doubt about it.

I was going to write a serious blog. I was listening to BBC the other day and it was a whole segment about the homeless and poverty in America. I was going to compare poverty in america to poverty in Kenya. I know I have said this before, but every Kenyan thinks every American is rich and happy. Well we know thats not true.... but did you know that everyday in America there are children going with out food, and families moving out of their nice houses in suburbia and moving into tents along with other families who can no longer afford their old lifestyles.  I have to tell Kenyans all the time that in America, having a job does not mean that you have a good life. A growing number of the population has jobs but are still living at or below the poverty line....... 

But I don't want to discuss this serious topic... instead I want to talk about hats. Yep hats, the ones you wear on your heads.... In the states, think about it, on a daily basis, what kind of hats do people wear.  Well I think most people back home wear baseball hats, maybe golf hats? beanies in the winter..?  Well here in Kenya, on a daily basis, you can see a plethera of hats. Just the other day I was on the matatu, we drove past a market where I saw a mama wearing a Dr. Suess hat, and another mama wearing a santa clause hat (which I actually see pretty often)!  The motor bike drivers usually wear all different types of winter hats and beanies. Whats funny is, anything goes here. You can pretty much wear anything, and not one person will question what your wearing. I.e. on our vacation Andrea rocked the fanny pack! So when we are market shopping, we look for crazy things we wouldn't wear in America, and totally rock it here!
