Funny story...

Okay, so for a funny story from our trip... we are borrowing a car from Global Connections while we are here. The first time we got in the car, everyone started hacking and coughing. We decided it was the fine dust that gets all over everything here. Every time after that, we would have the same experience - mostly in the mornings. The day that Patrick and I went to visit John's school, I drove and Patrick immediately complained about the car. "This is horrible," he said. "It's burning my nostrils." As we bumped over the rough road, the sensation was worse and worse. You could feel your throat, nose, and lungs burning. We had all of the windows down, but nothing was helping. Finally Patrick said "I think it is some kind of chemical." and remembered that AB used to keep pepper spray in the car. A thorough search turned up a monster size bottle of bear repellant (mace) that was under the driver's seat. Every time we hit a bump, a tiny puff was being released in the car :) Only in Kenya...
