Mzungus hit the beach

We are now back in Stone town after a few days on the East Coast of Zanzibar in a town called Jambiani.
I use the term "town" VERY loosely.
There is really nothing there other than a beach, some guest houses, a school and some houses.
We spent most of yesterday looking for a fruit stand (which didn't really exist).
Luckily, at some point in our search, we found a nice Canadian couple who are running an NGO in Jambiani.
We chatted with them for almost 2 hours and then they told us where to find some fruit.

I ended my last post with some negative sentiments about the beach (which I still hold).
I'm happy to report that I survived my time in Jambiani (I even enjoyed it).
My camera, unfortunately, did not fair as well.
I kinda jumped in the pool with the camera in my pocket.
Now it doesn't turn on.
I hope it just needs time to dry off (its been 2 days already...)

Thankfully, the memory card still works and Hillary has a camera so all is not lost.
Hopefully it will magically start to work. If not, maybe I can get it fixed (that will probably have to wait until I get home...)

I've been looking for an excuse to buy a new SLR.
This might just be the ticket.

At this point, I'd like to thank my parents for buying me the camera (that is now very sick).
Its had a good run and hopefully it will recover.
refuah shleima camera ben chaim.

Anyway, besides the camera incident jambiani was fun.
we snorkeled, which was pretty cool and we got to go sailing on a dhow (look it up).
Our accomodation was also pretty fun.

Now we're in stonetown for shabbat (kind of like the old city) and then we head back to the mainland on our way to visit my cousins in Arusha.

Love from Africa
Shabbat Shalom
