Kenya Airways experienced a strike which began the day we arrived to Kenya. What was supposed to be just a short stopover ended up being 4 days of being stuck in Kenya. Our days were spent being in line all day with thousands of nervous passangers (leaving the hotel at 4am to get in line), and then racing passengers for a hotel reservation (which was non-existant when we arrived to the hotel with our vouchers), waiting for overwhelmed hotel shuttles for hours, then hitching rides with newly-made-friends to race to the next hotel before the shuttles arrived with the then-extremely-angry passengers. Other than being extremely exhausted, we very much enjoyed the random friends we made from all over the world. This opportunity gave us a chance to talk to people from Kenya and many countries in western Africa. We were also greatly reminded of how God is in control and takes care of us, even when things seem out of control.Monday, October 19, 2009
