After a busy July at work, including organizing the "East African Workshop on Cyberspace Security," we took a well-deserved long weekend in Watamu on the Kenyan coast.
We didn't spend much time on the actual beach. The brown stuff in the foreground of the below picture is seaweed! The entire beach was covered with it, right up to the barrier wall of our resort.
So we spent most of our time in the resort, including massages at the spa, lazing by the pool, and enjoying drinks at the bar. The drink we are holding below is a dawa, a potent vodka drink mixed with honey and lime.
The resort organized a day trip to nearby Malindi, which has a significant Italian expat community. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to eat at a place called "I Love Pizza!"
We also satisfied our shopping itch, picking up the below items for a total of $60. If you receive a present from us in the near future, you might be getting a preview of it here!
After Malindi, we visited the Gede ruins. Gede was a thriving city back in the day, but was mysteriously abandoned, and now only the outlines of their buildings remain.
