Learning as I go…

This may be the most offensive thing I have ever said; if not please don’t remind anyone here of something worse. Fuck Easter! This week has been crazy. I swear Easter must be the biggest holiday in Kenya. Traffic has been unbelievable all week. It took me over two hours to drive what should have been 45 minutes. Everyone is heading “up-country” to their family homes, so shops are closing. Prices are spiking and the Matatus were inspired enough by the holiday to use this as an opportunity to strike. I am beginning to think everyone goes mad for this holy week.

I am not criticizing the holiday or tradition of Easter. I am just at my whit’s-end with the inconvenience of it. Writing it down, I am realizing how selfish I sound…
