Confession: I do not like traffic jams at all…one thing that’s been making it bearable for me is listening to Ted Talks and other podcasts on the Ipod (o.k, ok, i watch abit at stop lights and such).

She was impressed with the road building. Apparently there now is a nice road all the way from Nairobi to Mombasa.
