School Break Fun - Kazuri Beads

Last week AJP and BLP had a week-long school break. During that time, we went on a few adventures.  We went to the Kazuri Bead factory, the Karen Blixen museum, and the Nairobi National Park.  We will post the details of our adventures in three installments.  Our first installment is BLP's thoughts on Kazuri Beads.

I went to Kazuri Beads and pottery a couple of days ago.  Kazuri Beads was founded by a English woman to help single women who could not get other jobs. I had a great experience there. Kazuri in Swahili means small & beautiful. The beads were small & beautiful. There were kilns and potters and all kinds of stuff like clay, beads and paint. Our tour guide kept getting into our pictures. That was annoying! After that we went to the gift shop. My brother got a clay water buffalo and I got a clay Elephant. I had a great time there and if you go there you will have a great time.
