Back to Nairobi I had to meet Gladys again (see post "How I met Gladys). And I did!
We celebrated the New Year's Eve together in the club K1 in Westland. Being in Nairobi it's a good option for partying.
On the next day, and my last day in Nairobi and Africa at all, she invited me to meet her family. We took a matatu and headed to Nkoroi in the outskirts of Nairobi, where her mum lives.

I was most welcome and invited for lunch. Then I got to know "mukimo", kind of mashed potato with beans, corn and green leaves, and "kachumbari", a tomato and onions salad. And "capati" couldn't miss. Really tasty!
|
Capati bread and mukimo. Hmm! |
All family was very friendly and welcoming. Gladys showed me all the stuff her mum grows on her backyard and introduced me to her sisters, with whom I had a good talk. Oh! They also helped me out with the transport from Nairobi to the airport.

Gladys' mum. |

... and the whole family. |

... not without me. |

Gladys Ndung'u Wangari. |

Happy day! |
Lovely people! Thank you so much.
Cheers everyone!
