What does a shilling buy?


We went to the Kipkarren outdoor market Sunday afternoon. Here's what we bought for $2.56:

9 oranges

a head of cabbage

3 large tomatoes

about 4 pounds of potatoes

two small bunches of spinach

a large avocado

several onions

Today we filled up the gas tank of our vehicle. This wasn’t as economical as the vegetables and fruit. The fuel cost over $100! 'Petrol' is currently about $5.30 a gallon. Obviously our greatest expense while being here will be transportation costs as we move about for ministry and just taking care of life. :)
