The Crying Stone, PAG, another Haircut, and Kwa Heri to Kasavai and Kakamega

Saturday was filled with a short good-bye (Kwa Heri) in Kasavai accompanied by a Luhya dance plus raw eggs, ground nuts, and amaranth seeds to go.  Tomorrow brings an even shorter good-bye to Kakamega and our friends at the Golf and a long bus ride to Nakuru.

Today we visited the Crying Stone of Ilesi.   Lots of folklore surrounds this plutonic stone, and every tale, no matter how much it diverges from others is believed.  We have heard or read at least ten regarding its origin and magical powers.  See some at http://www.articlesbase.com/exotic-locations-articles/the-crying-stone-of-ilesi-kakamega-kenya-2249835.html.

A P.A.G. (Pentacostal Assembly of God) gathering in Miluru Gardens followed another haircut today at the Ashlyleon Salon and Kinyozi.  Those bananas are for the gatherred crowd.  And that’s my barber!
