The One With Dad In Zanzibar (1/16/2013)

After 5 cold days on the mountain we were very much looking forward to 2 days of warmth in Zanzibar.  The island is unmistakably Muslim with near constant calls to prayer echoing through the stone maze.  Its trading history as one of the Spice Islands makes it an interesting place to visit.  Downtown Stonetown is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways between century-old stone buildings.  While we appreciated the warmth, we quickly discovered that not even the ocean would cool us down.  The water temperature was well above 90°.  After a day and a half in the sun, and for me, a month away from my village, we were eager to get back to Kafule.
