its the little things

• jacaranda trees
• red dirt between my toes
• crazy squaking jungle birds fleeing the treetops at 6am
• cars being washed early morning in the parking lot - every morning
• roadside stands of colorful fruits and vegetables
• chai, chai, and more chai
• habari, sawa sawa, asante sana, karibu!
• giant skeleton keys
• chipati
• beautiful smiles
• children in uniform laughing and running down the street
• toast with blue band and jelly from a can
• matatu drivers shouting and pointing
• SUNSHINE!!
