Well, no matter where I am, I'm frugal, and I'm paying to use internet in a cyber cafe, so this first holiday travelling blog is just going to be a general overview to let you all know I'm alive and all that good stuff.
First of all, as should be expected, the plans changed. Instead of The Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda thing, we're doing the Kenya thing. (You'd think I didn't want to do the original plan and intentionally jinxed it, but I promise this was just an innocent realization that hanging around Kenya would work better.)
We spent the first week in Nairobi, and it was great! It was great to be with Simon, Alex, and Fr. Francis and see their site! As for Frisbee, all I will say right now is that I had two very funky adventures and one of the best experiences I've had on this continent...I'll leave that as a teaser for a later blog/storytelling session.
Alex, Mike, and I then headed to Mombasa near the coast and spent some time on some of the South Coast beaches. It was relaxing and beautiful, but I did also lose a small battle with a sea urchin...don't worry though, Mike wants to be a doctor, and he nursed my foot back to health (just imagine a sliver, but then have ten of them, make them bigger, and spread them around the bottom of your foot). Good times. There was a point when I was laughing to myself, because I had wanted to lay near the beach, and there I was, laying in our cottage near the beach, with Mike removing urchin remnants. Oh life!
In a couple of days Simon will be here and we'll be heading for the Northern Island of Lamu. While I prefer a white Christmas (settle down MN weather!), I'll have to settle for a white sandy beach Christmas...What can ya do?
