Today has been a second quiet day at the beach. I'm finally finding a little peace after the going to and fro between game parks (with hectic times in between Massai Mara (Kenya) -- Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania: one long trip) and back to Nairobi, and then on to Ambroseli (6-7 hours each way) and back to Nairobi, and then, finally, here at Mombasa.
I've found the traveling rather hectic and am comfortable having landed for a bit here at Mombasa. (I'm staying at the Serena hotel/lodge). It is peaceful and quiet here. The breeze off the Indian Ocean is warm and soothing (although the sun, once the clouds burn off in the morning is hot!). I've decided to stay an extra day -- instead of going home tomorrow, we'll go back to Nairobi on Monday (here -- remember we're 8 hours ahead of you). Peace doesn't mean the end of grieving, but here, by the ocean, I feel kissed by nature.
The entire trip has opened my eyes to unexpected experiences. And, beside, 32-34C sure beats -24C. I am thinking of you. A month is a long time. I'm looking forward to returning home and
seeing you.
P.S.
There's another market shot for Karen; Kazuri potter for Diane and Tim, and Elephants especially for Eleonora. But I hope that each of you enjoys all the pix.

Reading your blog and storing up lots of questions for your return. It is very out of our experience and sounds very busy. Glad you had a little time to sit. ML
