Just a word from Jon

Driving here is not what you might be used to.  You drive on the left.  No big deal right?  Well there also seems to be no speed limit and you can pass anywhere--or at least people do.  A flash of lights or honking lets the oncoming car know that you are not slowing down.  Pretty entertaining from the (relative) safety in the back of a matatu.  Walking on the street is another matter.  You better be ready to jump.  Fast.

Also, fries.  They call them chips here, and they are quite awful.  They look like fries but are just oil-soaked potato spears that need five more minutes of frying.  Learned my lesson in Nairobi, and then again in Nakuru.  Won't make the same mistake a third time...or will I?

That's all for now folks.
