Last week we spent a relaxing few days at the beach on the Kenyan coast. In order to get there, we took a 3 1/2 hour car ride to Nairobi then boarded a 40-seater plane for a one hour flight to Malindi. Anna has done much better with our travels. She hasn't had any motion sickness since we've discovered that Dramamine works like a charm for her.
Anna and Leo had a fantastic time swimming in the pool and in the Indian Ocean. They spent so much time in the water that Bryan and I were wondering if they had developed fins and gills! The weather was perfect - 80's, sunny, and no humidity. Because we were so close to the equator, we used SPF 70 sunscreen every day. The kids and I came back pretty dark. Bryan, well...he may have come back a shade darker.
We thought we would share a few pictures...

Yum! Drinking "Traffic Light"

There were stands along the beach that sold jewelry, scarves, skirts, and multiple other things.
On our way back from the beach, we stopped in Nairobi to stock up on groceries. Two hours in the grocery store and two extra large grocery carts later, the kids were exhausted and ready for home.

ReplyDeleteHello Dr. Popp,
ReplyDeleteThis is Priscilla B. from Ann Arbor. I'm so happy for you and your family and the GRAND experience you're gaining. Even so, I have lots of pen pal letters and gifts to share with the Kenyan students. I'll be sending them next week. I hope you're able to deliver them to a school and they're able to write us back. Please send me an email and God bless...batesp@aaps.k12.mi.us.
