Christmas!

We had the most perfect Christmas breakfast ever; they even had soymilk and brown bread, and then took a taxi to a huge mall called Village Market where there was a Masai market that day. Everyone was a bit overwhelmed except for Evelina who in about two seconds was bargaining with one of the vendors. One of the vendors expressed what everyone was thinking about the monstrous girl harassing them very well when he said to her “you are annoying”. Why that girl is studying science and not economy like me is a mystery.

After a lunch and before Evelina started too much problem with her bargaining skills we went back to the hotel for some swimming and to see if our bags had come yet. They had come, not to the hotel but at least to Nairobi airport, so whilst Jens and Eric jumped in the swimming pool, dad slept and Evelina tried getting a better suntan than mine Mom and I went to the airport to get the bags. When we got back I got to open all the wonderful presents from my family and everyone at home, it was fantastic. Thanks everyone!

After dressing up real nice in all our new Kenyan jewelry we went down for a Christmas dinner at the hotel restaurant. I was about to pass out when I saw the food. My mom is probably the best cook in Falsterbo and I love her Christmas food but after living on Kenyan food for a couple of months nothing could be better than this Christmas dinner. It was a seafood buffet! The starters being different types of salad and cold seafood like shrimp, salmon (MMMMMMmm) and sushi, the main course being warm things such as masala shrimps, meat things (uninteresting for me), barbequed shrimps and huge yummy, fantastic lobsters. It was a horrible feeling when I realized I was full and couldn’t eat any more so I took just one extra portion of shrimps and then took a breather before attacking the deserts. I wanted to try it all but since both my mom and sister have lost lots and lots of weight since I left home and I’m the fatty of the family I decided to just have a crépsucet (how do you spell that?) (MMmmmm), something tiny made of vanilla and strawberries and a chocolate pastry with some extra chocolate sauce on the side. After a dinner like that I feel asleep happy.
