Travelling around Africa in 36 hours, and marvels of our Kenyan democracy

I am writing this from the shore of the Atlantic Ocean, in Dakar, Senegal, where I have been for the last 36 hours, and from where I depart in a few hours. Well, well, the cycles of my life spin so fast these days, I measure the passage of time in hours, especially if I am going to spend most of my waking hours in airports.
