lessons learned

  • traffic jams in Atlanta are nothing compared to traffic jams in Nairobi
  • Toyota makes parts of their radiators out of plastic!
  • a hole in a radiator can be temporarily patched using only a bar of soap
  • there is nothing too big to go on the back (or front) of a bicycle
  • pedestrians don't often pay attention to the car traffic around them
  • some bus drivers think they own the road (both sides!)
  • sometimes the police will stop drivers just to see where they are going (maybe its so they can ask for a ride, who knows?)
  • it's ok to let your heart rule over your head
  • God cares about the smallest details of my life
