Day 13

It’s the thirteenth of March 2011, and our thirteenth day on our
safari- (journey in Swahili)- in Kenya.  We started out the day around
9:00 a.m. and headed over to the Serena Hotel, Kenya’s most famous
hotel started by the nation’s first president Jomo Kenyatta.  The
Serena is a stunning facility, about 14 of us (students and teachers)
enjoyed a snorkeling excursion.  The rest of the students and teachers
stayed behind to enjoy the pool and beach at the Serena Hotel.  I
decided to go snorkeling since, the Indian Ocean’s water is extremely
clear and its temperature is sublime.  This was in my opinion a good
choice since the variety of fish was really fascinating to photograph,
and since I had some energy that that got burnt off swimming so much.
Afterwards everyone rendezvoused at the hotel for lunch and beverages.
The food here has been some of the best so far.  Everybody returned
to the pool and beach areas to relax and take pictures, for an hour or
so.  Around 5:45 p.m. we returned to the Mombasa Beach Hotel for
dinner and a final upload, people beginning to get worn thin, but
it’ll be worth while.  For now that’s all.  Goodbye.
