Appreciating the Little Things in Life

Just returned from: Nairobi, Kenya
This I will no longer take for granted:
-Paved roads
-Flushable toilets
-Warm showers
-Electricity
-Getting my own seat in the bus/train/subway
-A government that isn't corrupt (oh wait... I don't think that really exists in real life)

Things I wouldn't mind going back to Kenya for:
-Ugali (yummy... cornmeal mush)
-Nakumatt (Kenya's version of Target/Wal-mart)
-Night skies filled with shooting stars and constellations
-Sandpaper leaves and exploding apples
-Giraffes (they're cute but they couldn't fit in my backpack... not even the baby ones)
