Yesterday was a pretty uneventful day. We actually kind of took it as a day of rest. After all the traveling and meetings on Saturday, it was much needed. We all slept late into the afternoon. Once we finally woke up, our host, Jacob, took us down to one of the beautiful beaches in Mombasa.
Mombasa is a coastal city that borders the Indian Ocean. The scenery around the beach was extremely beautiful. It felt like a resort that you would see in a movie. While we were at the beach we saw some things that we thought were pretty abnormal. There was a group of individuals offering Camel rides. I had never seen a camel before and didn’t realize just how big they were. Additionally, we saw a small diver’s boat come ashore. Evidently, there was a ship wreck off the coast some time ago, and divers constantly go down to try to recover commodities from the wreckage.
We returned home and had dinner, which was an Indian inspired lentil dish. Jacob spent several years in India studying business, so we eat a lot of Indian dishes. Also, Mombasa generally seems to be reasonably influenced by Indian culture. After dinner we reviewed and discussed the Kenyan Bill of Rights in preparation for a meeting that we would have with the Federation of Women Lawyers on today (Monday).
