market madness

Saturday July 4th
We went back to the market to size and pick up the gomesis and go to the bank. It’s amazing with a little help in direction from Harriet, how at ease I felt this time walking through the crowd. Perhaps it was because I had less of a pack on, but I think it was because I knew the area, what I was looking for and what I would encounter. It was a little overwhelming at first to go through the market with people shouting at us and calling out “Muzungu” and not wanting to be rude but knowing that answering might lead to a lot more. Now that I’m comfortable I would be more than willing to say hi to those close to me. I hope that doesn’t make for a bad 1st impression. Am I standoffish when I’m out of my comfort zone? Something to think on…
