Mombasa Internship 2013: The weekend and some pictures 

So it's been three days in the hospital since my last post but before I get to the hospital let me e plain my weekend. Saturday morning we had three teachers from the school come and teach them how to swim. They knew the basics so we took the first hour teaching then spent the next 2 playing with beach balls and races. It was quite an eventful morning. We then laid around the afternoon and then went downtown to Cafe Mocha and had milkshakes. It's weird cuz their chocolate is salty. They put salt in everything here so it was good but one of the interns got a brownie and some bites were fine but others salty.

Sunday was a great experience for me. I got to go to mass. Me and a fellow intern Simon are both catholic and one of our operation assistants Benson is too and he took us with him to mass on Sunday. We went at 8 it was a beautiful little church. The singing was absolutely amazing. They have drums and the women echo the men. It was in English but certain prayers were in Swahili. I felt such at home being in mass. I was so happy and I get to go again. It was just funny that me and Simon were the only white or even light skinned in the whole church.

When we got back me and the boys walked down to the beach where the girls were. The beach is white sand and not many people were there but later In the evening it got busy. I got to ride a camel along the beach with the other American Anna. It was so fun and so high. Jamal was the name of the camel and he was huge. We got like a 5 min ride up and down the beach. It was so cool.
