Two days on the shores of the Indian Ocean in Malindi, trying to reconcile the attention for this damn virus with the joy of seeing each other, even with the due distances and to share some positivity and pre-Christmas joy under the sun of the Equator.
This is the intention of us at Malindikenya.net who have decided to set up a stand at the Malindi Christmas market, which is being held today and tomorrow at the Driftwood Club. With us are also the activists of Malindi Green And Blue with their stand to support local communities.
It's a unique opportunity at this time of year, because it's outdoors and safe for those who care, to exchange greetings and also to give or get some gifts at a time when there is a need for gratification. We offer recycled items from local artists and artisans, Leni's photos, Freddie's books and other surprises, but the market will also feature local producers of natural and organic foods, boutiques with their clothing, wine and cheese tastings and many other things.
For those of you in and around Malindi, it's a great opportunity to catch up on the day before retiring to respect the curfew.
We'll be updating you, also live on our Facebook page, on this weekend's news and encounters, between a cold beer and a view of Silversand beach and the Indian Ocean.
