Was stuck in a bit of a traffic jam last night. Now those of you who've been to Nairobi should know that the gridlock when it rains in this city is something to behold. It is not uncommon to take up to 4 hours to move 20 Km. It has happened to me before, and I'm sure it will happen again... The big problem is a road infrastructure that was developed years ago and has never really been improved, so the round abouts (traffic circles) are a real headache.
So, last night while sitting in this traffic there was an add on the radio that basically said that China Plate - a local Chinese restaurant will deliver take-aways to your car with a scooter if you just let them know your car make and registration number, and between which two roundabouts you were stuck! AMAZING! (The picture is from a time when I was stuck in a taxi from Mombasa Airport to Diani on the South Coast - a five hour trip for 40km!)
I love this country!
Hope y'all have a really, really great weekend.

Dang! Looks like rush hour traffic
here in the DFW area
(Dallas/Ft.Worth)
But, I don't know why they call it
rush hour when they should call it
backed up for hours.
And what's really funny is that 90%
of the time it's one slow person.
HUGS!!
So, don't leave us hanging like this! Did you order out? And, if so, what did you order?
i'll have kung pao chicken and 2 egg rolls please!!
