The buses in Kenya are often colorfully decorated. The ones that travel from city to city are usually packed with people (drivers can wait to leave until the bus is full, and more people mean more fares). Belongings and luggage are tied to the roof, since there is little room inside to carry anything but passengers. I think that I would be reluctant to ride in a bus that is decorated with the words "Stay High" and "Smasher" despite the fact that I have ridden in all sorts of odd transports including a small matatu so full of people that they were hanging out the doors, a camel in the Sahara desert and a tuk-tuk. My oddest transport occurred when I hitched a ride back to the beginning of a parade. I sat on a wooden board just above the axle inside an oversized parade float - one hand on my trombone and the other holding tight to the board - watching the road pass below my feet and hoping that the float, which extended over the median line in the road, would not strike a passing vehicle. I was younger and stupider then. Sunday Challenge: Buses AIMG 6247

Mt. Dalsnibba in Norway has an elevation of 4,843 feet. The buses on the road look mighty small from that height. AIMG 6832

This scene between the Amber Fort and Jaipur, India is typical of Indian roads. You can find almost any type of vehicle or animal traveling on the roads and there is very little lane discipline. Only the elephant and the scooter manage to stay completely within the lane markers. ODT: Change. The times are changing. AIMG_4862
