Day 6 in Nairobi

Day 6 in Niarobi was not actually spent in Nairobi at all!! We went to Nyeri! It took forever, but it was actually fun. Our car broke down early on, and it was sort of the best thing ever, because I *finally* got to explore little shops in the middle of nowhere without Jay's mom telling me I'll be raped and murdered if I do. I drank this really strong ginger soda and then wandered off. Later the woman who sold it to me came clucking after me in Swahili and I had no idea what was going on. Turns out if you buy glass sodas anywhere, you're only buying the soda inside, and you're supposed to return the bottle. Jay's mom had to go over and apologize for me, but I was quite sad because I wanted to keep the bottle as a souvenier, like my coca cola bottle from Egypt with Arabic on it. Then I went searching for a dress, in case I later needed to pee ("Turkish toilets" are quite popular there- basically a hole in the ground- and my aim hasn't really improved since Jordan). I found this pretty dress at a road side shop and was pushed into a dank, dark back room to change in. When I turned on the light there were two children there looking dazed, so I ended up giving the lady more money than she requested. Not that that will likely help them much, but in their situation, I think I'd be happy? Hopefully. Hopefully she doesn't just think I'm a dumb American who thinks I can fix everything by tipping. Anyway then we went back to the car. The dress I chose was really short (both for peeing and temperature reasons) and at one point I was laying in the trunk and got to wave at people going by who were probably really confused why there was this random white woman wearing next to nothing in the boot of the car. I couldn't bring myself to care. Then we stopped to get gas
