Historic Swahili ruins...










On our March break, we traveled to Lamu Island and spent a week relaxing, swinging on a hanging Lamu-style bed and exploring ancient ruins. The Swahili settlements in this part of coastal Kenya (very close to the border with Somalia) date back to the 15th century, which is pretty amazing. Lamu town itself still maintains a deep sense of history. For Brian, a history teacher, it was a fabulous trip.
