zanzibar

we have been in zanzibar a week now and are loving it. we have been trying and failing to get some pictures up, so i will keep this short.

we have spent about half our time in stonetown so far, and half of our time on the beach. highlights of stonetown include getting thoroughly lost in the meandering maze like narrow streets of the old town, and eating at the forodhani gardens, a park in the harbour where dozens of streetfood vendors set up shop every night and you can eat a full meal with shrimp and lobster or red snapper and octopus, plus falafel or coconut bread and fresh squeezed juices for under $5 a person.

highlights of the beach included swimming in the too beautiful to be real water, kayaking, and snorkeling in water right out of a national geographic special. amazing marine life!

hope this one works... gotta go!
