Last Saturday while looking for the international Lutheran church we planned to attend on Sunday, we discovered another small shopping mall just down the road from us, near the church. It’s new and modern and is like any small mall you’d find in the U.S. At this mall is a fantastic coffee shop that serves full meals as well, including breakfast all day on weekends, so we had brunch there after church on Sunday. I love to have post-church brunch. They serve pancakes and French toast and all the eggs-potatoes-toast-bacon breakfasts. This is a popular chain of coffee shops in Nairobi (the Starbucks of Kenya?), and since then I have discovered that at the small shopping center closest to us (a 2-minute walk away), there’s the same coffee shop/restaurant, so I’m delighted.
All the stores here are open on Sundays, which is strange to us after living in Europe, but then we were able to do some shopping after church. Also down the road the other way from this church are the exact opposite type of shops - more primitive wood-working shops. They make beautiful furniture (big and small things - beds to small tables) by hand out of solid mahogany. We ordered a bedside table and a small table for the lanai. It will kill me not to be able to bring these items back to the U.S. at the end of our time, but maybe we can find a way.
