We are in Mombasa, Kenya enjoying ourselves...

...sorry it has been a while since our last update.

 

I feel a little guilty as we have been spending these last two days in this "resort" along the coast of the Indian Ocean.  It's not quite roughing it, however, it's making for a nice transition.  It was a timeshare donated to Douglas by one of the members of our church (thank you sooo much Renee and Tim).  Yesterday we went snorkeling and had a grilled seafood feast on this sandbar.  Wow.  We also visited some ruins of an old Arab city called Gedi.

 

After checking out this old fort (Fort Jesus) in Mombasa we will head west to Tsavo National Park.  We will stay in a lodge there.  Then after a morning game drive we will head to Rombo, Kenya (at the foot of Mt Kili) for a few days.  I think that's when the resort/lodge amenities ends and we'll experience rural African life.  While we are there we will help Douglas as he interviews some of the women artisians in the upcoming "Winter Disks" ornament project.  I will explain that more next post if I can.

 

Both of us are feeling well and eating well.  Douglas is a fantastic cook.  His "son" Tembo helps too.  We are all getting along swimmingly.

 

Stay tuned!
