first day of walking to work 3, sept. 2009
NOTES ON TRAVELING TO AFRICA:
Leave the Jack's at home.
Jack Percells (a type of converse tennis shoe) although loved, and comfortable and have pulled you through the last 17 years, are completely inadequate foot wear for Africa when it rains (especially if they are 8 yrs old and have holes in them. It is best to be sure to pack sturdy boots. If, due to increasing airline fees for overweight baggage you are unable to be sure to visit the local Nakumatt upon arrival and purchase a pair for a mere 400ksh (approx $6). Please also note that OP rain “jackets” purchased at the Goodwill outlet for $1.00 are also not going to do you any good.
For those of us who think we know that September is a hot month in Africa (like all the other months) please be advised that Africa is also subject to “unusual for this time of year” weather and phenomenons such as el nino.
Not kidding. I saw my breath this morning.
