Day Five - Travel from Uganda Back to Kenya
Six hours of driving to the airport in Entebbe from Rhira, followed by a one hour flight, and then a three and a half hour ride from the airport (which should have taken 30 minutes). Traffic in Nairobi is horrible. As we were stuck literally for two hours on one small stretch of road leading out of Kenya, locals trying to sell soccer balls, maps, inflatable chairs and more swarmed all the cars stuck on this road. But then three little kids approached our car selling packets of peanuts; they were the sweetest looking Kenyan boys. One was so little that his head could not reach the window, just his little fist holding his peanut bags. It is these moments that tug at your heart, and you cannot help but break down all cultural barriers and empathize completely. We ended up giving them money and not taking the peanuts.

Thursday, September 17th, is Constitution Day in the U.S.A. Constitution Day is a holiday that celebrates one of the landmark documents of the last 300 years. Currently, there is a lot of focus on the Tenth Amendment. The Tenth Amendment reaffirms (how it's treated by the Supreme Court rather than a legal instrument) that rights that aren't expressly granted to the Federal Government ARE expressly denied. This matters with legislation that aims to overstep legal boundaries and have Federal jurisdiction over state matters. There's certainly enough of that to go around. Even the right to get a pay day loan isn't something the federal government is authorized to deal with – that's something else you can ponder on Constitution Day.
