short hair what?

When my sister and I were younger we used to video tape ourselves lip syncing & making commercials... & we were hilarious. One of our commercials was an add for a product that can help your hair grow from "super short to super long." I am pretty sure we actually used those words. In the video we created this shaggy up do to make it look like we accidentally chopped all our hair off & were in need of a serious miracle. We thought it was time to offer homage to that lovely hair style once again.

May it be noted that this hair style is not supposed to make you look cute and my sister looks simply beautiful even with her fake shaggy short cut.

Last Night in Nairobi

Our final evening in Kenya, just before hopping on the plane, we went to a
Lebanese restaraunt for some delicious Middle Eastern food!

Before Sunset

Together

With Rex's current job he travels often, so this time together was exactly what we both needed. We are equipped for long distance after much practice in our early years of knowing one another, but we'd much rather spend our time together.

Lovely

Walking along the beach we felt the delightful breeze, listened to the soft ocean waves and encountered many
beautiful picture moments. I particularly love the donkey and the surf board.

Polepole (slowly slowly)

As we were walking through the town an older man softly and kindly spoke the word polepole which means slowly slowly. This is the motto of the town and we heard people saying it often throughout our visit.
It's a great motto, one the west could definitely benefit from.

Lamu Town

Manda Island, where the planes fly into, is a remote Kenyan town in Eastern Africa 50 miles south of the Somalian boarder. A quick 5 minute boat trip across the water is Lamu Island, which is Kenya's oldest living town. It is the only coastal settlement to retain its original character and the town is a blend of African and Arab heritage. The people living there are predominantly Muslim, though we met many rastafarian men as well. The language spoken is Swahili however many people do speak English as well (both are official languages of Kenya). From what I gathered Arabic is not spoken, but is learned by the young men in the mosques as they study the Qur'an.
