Patrick is a tours manager and will be our guide throughout our stay. Patrick takes us to exchange currency. After exchanging money we go to a grocery store to buy bottled water. The students are ever ready to shop and enjoy the chance to explore a Kenyan store not to mention the chance to buy snacks. We also get our first experience with traffic in Nairobi.
Pedestrians take their lives into their own hands every time they cross a street.
The entire time we are in Kenya we see perhaps three working stop lights and pedestrians definitely do not have the right of way. The last week of our stay Eric sees a woman struck and killed by a bus so getting across the street safely is a real concern. Some of the students swear drivers speed up when they start to scurry across. At least there is a speed limit in the city although you can't always tell it. There are no speed limits in the countryside except those imposed by the roads themselves.
