To celebrate the end of our fieldwork (or at least the biggest phase of it) and to generally keep ourselves from going COMPLETELY crazy in Nairobi, the girls and I are taking a fabulous weekend away. We are flying to Mombasa (tickets were only about $100!) and staying in a cottage for a few days at Tiwi Beach.
To put it all in perspective, these are the conditions that we have been working in for the last month and a half:
And THIS is where we will be the next several days:
I cannot think of a time I have been more excited for a vacation. I mean.... seriously.
Looks just like where we spent our last weekend! Hard to believe the air temperature was cooler at Playa Del Carmen than in Burley (humidity was a different story). Hope to talk to you before you leave, but have a wonderful refreshing trip. Looking forward to getting you back into the USA. Love, Dad
And I cannot think of a bigger contrast. I suppose what can create beauty in the first image (the slum) is people, but devoid of that, I'll take the 2nd any day!
