Consolata


No major roads go through our neigh-
borhood. The driving schools love to use these roads to train beginning drivers, since the traffic is usually very light.

I love the names of the driving schools. I’m not sure where Consolata came from. Maybe she owns the firm? Another of my favorite names is “Heltz,” which is a take-off on “Hertz.” (In Kikuyu, one of the major languages in Nairobi, “R’s” are often mixed up with “L’s.”)
