Happy Halloween!!
At dinner, I shared some foil-wrapped chocolate pumpkins with the team to celebrate the occasion.
Have I mentioned the traffic in Nairobi?
Oh la la!
We left Machakos at 5:30 a.m. in order to get to our meeting at 8:30 a.m. Yes, that's right - three hours to drive 70 kms! And guess what? We arrived 15 minutes late! Luckily, Professor Kiamba was on "Africa time" and the meeting didn't start until 9:30. In addition to the total congestion, the cars and trucks have no emissions requirements. They belch noxious fumes and black smoke. None of the cars use air-conditioning so we drive with all the windows open and breathe the fumes all the way! Yuck!
We spent the afternoon working in Machakos, which is lovely and green and the air quality is much better!
Tomorrow we start our interviews to talk about "innovations" at several Kenya universities and colleges. Looking forward to it!
