I have always loved the beach; there’s something remarkably special about spending time in the space between the land and the sea, no matter the topography. The smell, the sounds, the air, they all have an intoxicating effect on me. I admit to having selfishly dreamed of a vacation like this for years; what I’ve referred to often in conversation with Henry as the “white-sand beach vacation.”
I suppose these musings date back to my Tobago years, where I spent part of my youth. My family ventured often for family vacations to Pigeon Point. I remember going so often that once my mom forgot to tell me and I had to pack on the morning of our departure. I was mad! Or perhaps they started a few years later in Jamaica while still in college. I’d visit Jamaica regularly to join my dad and other members of the Jamaica Sub Aqua Club for dive trips to resorts along its north coast. These are some of my fondest childhood memories!
Fortunately for us the Kenyan coast is just an hour’s flight away from Nairobi along with dozens of resorts, hotels and rental houses vying for our business. It was my turn to plan the winter holidays and decided we were going to spend the entire three weeks on the coast.

While the art and architecture of Poland typically may not be at the forefront of most writings that cover this topic at large, the creative output of the nation is equally as complex, rich, and diverse as its history. Poland is home to vibrant and colorful folk crafts and world-famous ceramic works, however, like many other nations, the country’s artistic expression and output has also been shaped by influences from abroad. The Baroque period saw the rise of extravagant and ornate designs, while Romanticism of the 19th century saw a resurgence of national identity through works depicting Polish landscapes and folklore. Artistic works of the 20th century and beyond introduced modernist movements against the turbulent backdrop of war and resilience, which led to innovative architectural solutions and avant-garde art. While traveling around Poland, one can visit many museums to see such works like the dramatic historical paintings of masters like Jan Matejko to the otherworldly, dystopian visions of modern artists like Zdzisław Beksiński. Museums are not the only places where one can find art either! Many places of worship, historical sites, and public buildings are work
