Christine and I traveled back to Kisumu this weekend to indulge ourselves in honor of my 28th birthday. I'm still not quite sure how birthdays are celebrated in East Africa but this year, mine was celebrated with dessert. :) We started off with a lovely dinner on Saturday night at the Imperial Hotel, which the Rough Guide quotes as “the poshest nosh” in the city – doesn’t that sound regal? And today, I treated myself with a bar of scrumptious Cadbury chocolate! Previous to today, my sweet tooth had gone three weeks without chocolate, since it’s no where to be found in Mbita. I think that may actually be a record for me! It was absolutely delicious!!
Now fully satisfied and armed with enough chocolate for my last week in Mbita, I am ready to confront the true Kenyan wilderness. Tomorrow morning, I’m headed to the islands of Suba district… Sadly, I will only be there for two days, but I hope that I will be able to appreciate the fishing-village traditions and how the community works together to survive such isolation. Also, it will be interesting to see how medicine is practiced in an even more remote site than Sindo!
