I ended up buying more scarves and shawls... and loved them. But I had to bargain. For 2200 Kenyan shillings, I got a fancy slip, a fancy shawl, another long long shawl (approx $44 Cdn)

There are many stalls all over the place. One place I saw had a pink lace mosquito net! I would have bought it but it wasn't practical to bring back to Canada... even with West Nile virus...
