Various Nairobi Scenes




These hand-carts are a common sight throughout much of Kenya. They typically haul fresh produce from the Farmers' Wholesale Market, lumber (called "timber" here), or household furniture when people move. This one is loaded with potatoes. A couple of guys - dripping with sweat - carried them into a cafe, obviously to be used for "chips" (french fries). Somehow these carts intermingle with all the regular vehicle traffic, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. It's all rather amazing to me!.

The City Hoppa bus is one I frequently ride when I'm going home from downtown Nairobi.

The bottom picture is Parliament.
