<translate> The meeting was ideally supposed to run from mid-morning to two in the afternoon, but we were still under the Mkilifi tree a few hours to sunset, committing the seven sins and enjoying a profoundly stimulating conversation on the need to archive coastal history. What was supposed to be a menu with a space left for remarks turned into notebooks as everyone wrote down something. Kathleen, a keen observer and a good student based on the clarification queries she had after the meeting, issued us with Mozilla notebooks which came in handy as the informal lessons demanded us to take more notes. <swh>Mkutano ulikuwa umepangwa kuanza kabla ya adhuhuri na kumalizika saa nane mchana, lakini bado tulikuwa chini ya huu Mkilifi karibia na jua kuzama, tukitenda dhambi saba na kuburudika na mazungumzo yenye kusisimua kuhusu umuhimu wa kuhifadhi historiya yetu ya pwani ya Kenya. Ile nafasi iliyoachwa kwenye vijikaratasi vya menyu ilibadilika na kuwa daftari, kila mmoja akiandika kutokana na mazungumzo na fikra za wengine. Kathleen, mwangalizi makini na mwanafunzi mzuri kulingana na maswali ya kutaka ufafanuzi aliyoyauliza baada ya kikao, aligawa daftari za Mozilla ambazo zilisaidia sana maanake mazungumzo yalihitaji kuandikwa zaidi.
