Mombasa, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

Over 300 matatu rides. 3 new scars. 7 roommates. 1 mosquito net. 1 case of the stomach flu. 3 new training programs. 1 (modest) beach bonfire. 5 blisters. Approximately 80 meals of beans & rice. Countless power outages. 1 trusty fan. The 1st World Cup in Africa. 1 cat. 3 geckos. 1 birthday (let's not count the candles). 4 evenings in the air conditioned movie theater. 2 Tilapia served with the head and skin still intact. 1 fantastic maid. 40+ loads of laundry washed by hand. 3 church callings. One reliable 10.1 inch red netbook. 18 mosques. 3 broken shoes. Not nearly enough mahambri. Thousands of ants. 1 school of dolphins. 3 GB worth of pictures. At least 6 sunburns. 1 unusually long rainy season (no complaints here). 3 umbrellas. 150 anti-malaria pills. 0 cases of malaria. 4 lovely and all too fleeting months.
