Terrific Tuesday

Yesterday Gordon and I took a matatu to town. Matatus are vans used for public transportation. They are kind of crazy. I have seen the crazy drivers weaving in and out of traffic and now I know what it is like to ride in one. They have no mercy. I was only halfway in when the driver took off. I'm surprised I didn't fall out! I am not comfortable taking one by myself, but I feel safe with Gordon. Once we got to town, we walked all over and ran errands. Downtown Nairobi reminds me a lot of downtown San Diego/Balboa Park area. There are tall buildings, hotels and a big park. There are also lots of trees. The weather was perfect and I really enjoyed walking around. In the evening, we went out for pizza since it was buy one get one free. They call it Terrific Tuesdays. It was really yummy. I hope to have pizza at least one other time before heading back to Sudan.
