so close and yet...

i'm in nairobi. it's $2 for 15 minutes of internet. i have another 11 hours, fifteen minutes here so $2 seemed a small price to pay for a little distraction. when i returned from my first trip to rwanda i refused to pay that much because it seemed so expensive. we'll see what i think of $2 in a month.

interesting things so far
1 - a group of people in the amsterdam airport smoking at a stand covered in no smoking signs
2 - someone drinking a beer at 7 am (maybe they were on american time?)
3 - someone from wheaton college on my flight to nairobi
4 - i got the most comprehensive pat down from an airline worker ever. they are thorough in amsterdam

i'm sure there will be more after my 12 hours in kenya. at least i'm this close. hopefully no luggage is stolen while i'm here. at least they have a 24 hour coffee shop. i think i'll be fine.

Thorough, and blazed out of their minds. Glad you made it there in one piece--that's a whole lot of flying you just did.

An elaborate pat down in Amsterdam. I can think of a few reasons why. Not for you, but for your average visitor to amsterdam.
