Places We Love...

We were blessed to be able to visit Zanzibar last week, which is a small island just off the coast of Dar es Salaam. It's only about a 2 hour ferry ride, and you are there! Zanzibar is home to beautiful beaches and snorkeling, many spice farms, and Stone Town (the historic area).



During the tour of the spice farms, you get to see many of the wonderful plants that thrive here, like cinnamon, vanilla, lemongrass (above) as well as many delicious fruits.

The waters around Tanzania and Zanzibar are many beautiful shades of turquoise.

Prison Island, another small island close to Zanzibar, is home to a turtle rescue.  Twice a day, you can feed the turtles!
