Diani Beach Weekend

This past weekend the FSD intern team was taken on a retreat to a resort area called Diani Beach on the south coast about 30 miles south of Mombasa. It is a major tourist destination for European vacationers and the beach is spectacular. We stayed in a gorgeous cottage with very nice amenities right on the beach.   Everyone was craving Mexican food and yours truly agreed to create a menu. We made pico de gallo, guacamole with chips, chicken tacos and homemade refried beans all washed down with Tusker beer and rum with passion fruit drinks.   Everyone was in heaven.  It was not easy finding all the necessary ingredients but well worth it.
