Western Kenya Agricultural Show

We walked down the road from our house to visit
Kitale's biggest celebration of the year, their annual
Agricultural Show.  These are a few of the things we
saw:  one of the prize-winning cows, bulls, Jon looking
at a maize stalk shredder, the crowds, cabbage patch,
sugar cane, sunflowers, sukuma wiki (kale), and tea.

A Visit to the Sitati Farms

Elder and Sister Harris flew from Nairobi to Kitale
one morning and we drove to the Natiri area to visit
Elder Sitati's farm which is run by his son Martin.
  We saw the macadamia nut orchard and their 
avacado trees.  They showed us how the nuts are
harvested and shelled by hand until their production
plant is completed.  The men were very interested.
-Martin, Noel, and their baby Savannah
-Noel's sister baked muffins in the jiko oven
which is fueled by wood and/or charcoal
