Africa - 2005, Zanzibar
View of Stone Town from the boat ride:
boys playing on the beach. It was here that it became apparent that we were in a Muslim area. The boys were allowed to play on the beach, swim, wear shorts. Not once were the girls on the beach or swimming. They were always dressed from head to toe. Jen & I wore our shawls while walking anywhere off of resort property.
Sign for Persian Baths.
An artist at work on the streets of Stone Town.
At our hotel in Stone Town.
Forodhani Gardens:
Spice Tour:
Our guide taking us out for snorkeling.
The Resort we stayed at, the other side of Zanzibar from Stone Town.
Sea Urchins in the water. We enjoyed our walk out during low-tide. Wasn't so fun trying to get back to shore after tide came in and we were trying to avoid the urchins. Luckily, neither of us stepped on one.
The day we flew out of Zanzibar - what a beautiful sunrise:
