Wednesday- Cultural/ Historical

On Wednesday we went to Lamu, we took a taxi to the small muslim town. We stopped on the way and had KFC. We all five got the original recipe chicken platter. It was delicious, it tasted slightly different then KFC food that we have from home but it was still really good. Since we were in a taxi cab we just got the food to go and continued our ride to Lamu. We sat on benches where the taxi dropped us off in front of beautiful stone building in Lamu. We ate our food and people watched for a while. We then started walking and took in the intriguing culture Lamu offered. We ended up getting a free donkey ride to the beaches and walked along them playing games with the locals and just taking in the beauty. We saw dolphins and alot of beautiful dunes. The water was pleasantly warm and a very beautiful blue color. The day was extremely relaxing and it was wonderful to walk around the small town and get to take in the culture. We watched the sunset on the beach and drank with new friends we met. They introduced us to a drink called Changaa, it was very potent. It was not my favorite drink but I did not mind it. It was alot of fun drinking and hanging out with our new friends. Once it got dark out we decided to head back to the hotel. We took a taxi back to the hotel.
