nothing much to say. sorry or the infrequent correspondence, everyone, but internet connections here are painfully slow, and we're too busy to use them much anyway. we've gotten a lot done. we finished with the Nakuru group and went to the game park. the flamingo (sp?) are dropping like flies there. our guides said they'd never seen anything like it. lots of dead birds. they say the pollution in the lake is killing them off quickly.
then to Naivasha (thanks, Goldsmiths). we talked to a nice general manager-type there, Grant, about their health issues. talked with some nurses there. we toured the facilities and looked at pretty plants. not much to say about that.
we bounced back down the road to Nairobi, and now we're with another group. man, that road is awful.
tractors have '50 kph' stickers. three-wheeled taxis are '60 kph.'
saw a speed limit sign. it's somewhere between here and Nakuru, when the road turns to dirt.
Kibera is a depressing place to see.
how come i can't think of any 'white' or 'western' countries that suffer from poverty to this degree? is it a racism thing, the ammount-of-time-since-independence? or just a developing-country thing?
