One year ago today: Oct 16, 2005 (Stonetown, Zanzibar)

After a relaxing stay at the beach, we headed to Stonetown for a couple more days before leaving Zanzibar. Stonetown is an incredibly atmospheric place...whitewashed walls, peeling paint, narrow alleyways, and muslim men gliding around in their long robes like ghosts. Many buildings are fronted by beautifully carved wooden doors. Kim enjoyed some shopping, and we wandered the streets trying not to get too lost (pretty much impossible in the maze of streets), avoiding touts, and nervously walking through dark streets after dinner to our hotel.

Here's a FilmLoop full-screen slideshow of Stonetown. In retrospect, I wish I had taken more photos of the narrow streets and confusing alleyways, sigh.
