The drive from Nairobi to Maua still takes most of a day.  We had cloudy skies and comfortably cool weather.  The roadsides are ever growing, bustling commerce centers in each little town.  Progress along the route is severely impaired by the exponential growth of speed bumps.  One cannot drive 50 yards without having to slow almost to a stop in order to hurdle the van over a very formidible Kenyan speed bump. While this process doubles the travel time it probably halfs the number of roadside mishaps.  We arrived safely in Maua at 5:30pm.

Stanley and Mary Gitari along with key members of the hospital leadership team joined us for dinner. We enjoyed visiting our dear friends, getting updates about Maua Hospital, and discussing planned activities for the week.
