This photo was taken a few days ago through the windshield of the Daystar bus. This is a typical scene on the Mombasa Road between Nairobi and Athi River. Notice the crumbling pavement on the right-hand side of the photo. The driver has three major concerns: One is to find a route that is less rough than others in order to avoid slowing more than necessary; a second is to find a way to get past the large number of slow-moving trucks; a third concern, of course, is to avoid oncoming vehicles.Construction has been moving ahead on this road and we are able to see improvements in sections, but it will be years before it is complete.
