Rural road jams are usually caused by donkey carts and matatus (public transport vans). The drive from Nairobi to campus took Jack 1½ hours this morning rather than 45 minutes and he left home at 6:30 AM! As we filled up yesterday at $3.50 per gallon (hovered in the $5 range for years), Jack asked about the horrid traffic and was told: Cheap gas! Everyone is driving rather than walking and taking matatus!
