However, just ask for the maru bhajia place and you'll be directed accordingly! 2. Nyama choma at Njugunas Place . Is there any food that's as quintessentially Kenyan as nyama choma (literally, roast meat) is? Njugunas is reputed to have the best in town - soft, perfectly done, and flavourful. No more chewing one piece for five minutes! 3. Heavenly beef

Letting Go, pt. 2

If you haven't yet read the post I did a few weeks ago about letting go, you can have a look here ! Part two brings in perspectives from some more people - a huge thanks to my contributors! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the time I was born, my nana and grandpa have always been a major part of my life. My grandpa would pick me up three days per week from school and gladly bring me to 7-11 for a classic blue raspberry Slurpee. I would go back to their home and my nana would often have sticky buns and make me a grilled ham and cheese sandwich for dinner. I grew up learning how to play cards from my grandpa on the engraved card holder that he built in his workshop. I learned how to be kind from my nana and to appreciate the small things in life. These two individuals are the most selfless individuals I have ever met. I am proud to call them my grandparents. My nana was the first to pass a
