Back in Nairobi!

The best part of going away is returning to Nairobi. I always find myself excited about returning to Nairobi after being away. I think it is the combination of my home, friends, and the general environment that I miss when I am away. At times I feel more comfortable in the chaos of Africa.

Santander is a coastal city, beach resort town which has great hotels lined along the coast line and excellent tapas. The sun does not set until 10:00 pm which fits right in with the Spanish culture of eating supper at 9:30 pm. Culturally, I think cities like Barcelona, Madrid and Bilbao offer a bit more than Santander, but I am sure that Santander beats all other cities in the heat of the summer.

I returned Saturday night and met up with a friend, then lazed around Sunday enjoying catching up with other friends via text, phone calls and emails. I head to London on Friday night for one week and although I was originally looking forward to another European trip I must say that I wouldn’t mind staying at home a bit longer before heading out on the road… but I shouldn’t complain- isn’t this what I wanted? Travel, work, time alone to experience parts of the world?

I have posted some pictures of my trip to Spain… you can check them out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amandainkenya
