some quiet

I’ve never really found Africa to be the simple, relaxed, and slow-moving place a lot of people say it is.  Now, things go slow like buses, governmental offices, and paperwork.  And people usually run late.  But I always feel rushed and crowded and frustrated.  Things are loud and people are constantly yelling at me.  There are random people always knocking on the gate.  But sometimes I can find some calm.  This day was one of those times.
