Another Big Day

Pictures are not loading so here is text. We had another big day Sunday. We went a church that we enjoyed greatly, out to eat which took over 4 hours. The brought the jiko (stove used with charoal) to the banda where were sitting filled it with charcoal and lite it. After much fanning it became hot at which point the cook put on the cooking oil. After allowing time (of course) it heated nicely at which time he added chicken and herbs and other stuff to make a traditional african dish. He keep checking it for around 1 hour and after about 2&1/2 hours it was ready. After bringing water for washing our hand he served the dish with naan a soft bread. It was a delicious meal but as we ate with our fingers Betsy and Wayne used quite a pile of napkins. I am glad they did not charge by the napkin or we would have had to was up to dishes.
We then had tea and conversation and after a little over 4 hours we left to go and copy Betsy's poetry lesson for the next day.
