Banana Cart in Athi River

We thought this photo would give you a little of the feeling of downtown Athi River. (Judy took the photo unobserved from the bus window.) Notice the very flashy motorbike in the background. Young men in this area have these bikes (though they also use bicycles) and pay for them by providing taxi service. We usually have 6-8 of these motorbikes going back and forth carrying mostly students from the Daystar entrance to the main road (about 3 miles). They charge from Ksh 20 to 40 one way (26 to 52 cents).
