Surfs always up! Over 307 hours on the boat! Last night's watercolor sunset was stunning and the sticky 101 degree weather today capped off another beautiful summer. As my second summer home from college wanes, here comes Kenya! Last week I went shopping with a colleague, Arika Makena, from the African Women's Coalition for some travel essentials for my study abroad in Nairobi. Arika is married to a Kenyan, she has spent significant time in Kibera (the largest slum in the world) and she offered lots of useful advice for clothing, toiletries and gifts. Without Arika's wisdom I wouldn't have known to wait to get the eight dollar blue mosquito net in Nairobi or to drink black tea sin milk for an upset stomach.
Update: My new email is justine.raschio@gmail.com
Tonight marks ten days before takeoff. I guess all I can say is I can't wait for touchdown!
