Hello Blog followers. Thank you for reading my posts. It is fun to look at how many views I get each day. January had 291 views! Amazing. :) I feel so loved.
This week was my last week at the orphanage. I need a mental breather from the sadness and the stress. So, I'm in Mombasa, which is Kenya's coast. It's lovely... well the beaches are. The rest of the city is a little ugly... just like Nairobi. Anyway... I needed to get away from Nairobi to relieve some anxiety. It's hard to walk out the door being afraid of getting mugged each moment. Mombasa isn't so bad because it's full of tourists and the people are used to seeing whites.
I haven't met my roommates yet because they had already gone to the beach when I arrived. My host mom escorted me to the beach to find them, and then she left me. No kidding. I am alone... in Kenya... again. I'm starting to think that Kenyans don't realize how scary it is to be the o-n-l-y white person on the streets, and when white= green (money) to Kenyans... it's not comfortable. Thankfully, where she left me was at a yuppy beach club full of whites. Now, I'm on my way home. Wish me luck!
God Bless,
Leah
