		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I was given a forty-shilling coin as part of my change in the grocery store. Cassandra hadn&#8217;t seen one before so she was really excited about it. Because they&#8217;re not very common we&#8217;ve started a little tradition of saving them. At first it was just a joke&#8230; but now, just a [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve ridden (and enjoyed) swing rides before, but I think I&#8217;ll pass on this one! It&#8217;s closed today, but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be packed this weekend. It&#8217;s all fun and games until someone gets hurt&#8230; that thing looks super [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago we bought a car, a pink Toyota Vitz. It&#8217;s not pretty, but the price was right and it gets the job done. Cassandra mostly uses it to get to and from work, but it&#8217;s really convenient for things like grocery shopping, dinner in the evening, etc, or simple when matatus or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems the city council&#8217;s efforts to introduce a proper drainage system to the junction of Church and Rhapta roads have failed. As we&#8217;re now in Kenya&#8217;s &#8220;short&#8221; rain season it looks like I&#8217;ll have to get used to tip toeing around this small lagoon for a few more weeks.

		<description><![CDATA[The pet store in the Westgate shopping mall sells terrapins (a small turtle species from Northern America). As we&#8217;ve had mixed luck with fish, we decided to get a few. They&#8217;re really cute, and a hell of a lot more interesting than fish&#8230; This particular species is a red-eared slider, but it seems there are [...]]]></description>

Honestly I couldn&#8217;t care less, but I remember it being a surprise when I first came to Kenya in 2007. In the United States at least, we&#8217;re used to being constantly bombarded [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t buy sugar very often (how much do you really need anyways?), but twice in the last few weeks I&#8217;ve gone to my regular supermarket to buy some and I&#8217;ve found shelves empty. Last week, for example, I [...]]]></description>
