Mombasa

I have been asked some weird questions about this trip. Two of my co-workers as a first questions asked me if it was worth it. Um...totally! Someone else asked me what was in Mombasa, to which the answer is THE BEACH. For this lake girl, it had been far too long since she saw a real expanse of water!

What did we do in Mombasa other than enjoy the beach? We went on a glass bottom boat ride and did some snorkeling, (best thing EVAR by the way)

We got henna done,

And I rode a camel!

We read, we talked, we knit, and we relaxed. We rode around in tuk-tuks,

and we shopped at the markets at the side of the road.

While I would NOT recommend the place we stayed at, it was such a blessing to be AWAY for awhile, and to enjoy a totally different type of life than I usually experience. Would I go back to Mombasa again? In a heartbeat! While I'm not a fan of beach hair,

I loved my time at the beach. Three oceans down--two to go?
