Someone asked me what I have enjoyed most so far and after thinking about it I decided it was driving (other than being with friends and family, of course). I really missed driving while I was gone. My car is not able to be driven at the moment so I have been blessed by people willing to loan me their cars. I must admit it's fun driving cars nicer than mine!
What I love about driving in the US is that people actually follow the traffic laws! In Nairobi there are very few traffic lights and it's everyone for themselves. There are laws, but I could never figure out who had the right of way. Plus matatu drivers are nuts and I don't think I could ever drive there.
Before I left, I could easily get annoyed at other drivers and often exceeded the speed limit. Now I am content to drive like a grandma and take my time. I must have absorbed some of the laid back, slower pace of life that I like in Kenya and Sudan. Even though traffic is nuts and people cut each other off, people don't get mad about it there.

I seriously could not figure out what the speed limit was on the freeway! I thought it was 55, and everyone was speeding past me....it was scary! Apparantly, it is 65, so basically, it should have been MUCH scarier!
