I like anything whose first name is “Charming”, and Lonno was no exception.

After eleven days of rich food and little exercise, we took a beach break where…we ate richer food and got slightly more exercise. The pants I added elastic to the waistband the day before we left are now cutting off my circulation.

The beach was not what I thought, as we were far from open expanses of white sand, but the ocean!  We first stepped into the Indian Ocean and sighed.  It’s about the same latitude as the Galapagos, but so, so much warmer.   

We also did some ocean-safaris.  Wes says it was just as good as the second snorkeling in Ecuador, but I think the only other time I saw so many varieties of reef fish, Dwayne and I were honey+mooning in Fiji.  It was startling how beautiful it was.  Another morning, we went out to see the local dolphin family.  Later that morning, Kyla and I jumped out over Turtle Island, underwater at the time. I usually save my frolicking for fun reads, but my oldest and I frolicked our water-logged brains out. 

Almost all our meals, and then our cocktail hours, were punctuated by games of cribbage and Hearts.

If Dwayne ever leaves me, it will be for an older model, made of blocks, mortar, and generous arches.  Gaga for architecture, Dwayne is, and Italian influenced Kenya coral renaissance rung all his bells.

Good times on the beach side of Malindi! Finally caught up from my general NW vitamin D depletion.
