Disappointment

Disappointment is stealing a brown envelope from the pocket of a muzungu woman as she fights to get through a jam of taxis packed so tightly there is hardly room to move, to find it contains only sh 3,000 in change.

Yes, today I was pick pocketed to the tune of $1.76 Can. As I was trying to push my way though the jam, one guy spent a little long pushed up against me. By the time I realized he wasn't just trying to cop a feel, he was long gone.

Could have been worse my cell phone was in the other pocket. It is the first time in all my travels it has happened and for sure, if that is the worst that happens to me, then I am lucky.

Whoever it was I hope he uses the money to feed his family.
