I haven't worn shoes in three days. Not anywhere. We made our way to the little town of Nungwi at the northern tip of Zanzibar. Never have I seen such extraordinary shades of blue in the ocean.
That tiny speck in the water is CJ waving his arms.
The really cool part is that you never forget you are in Africa. I particularly like the diversity of attire in the photo below.
Every night around 5:00, when the extreme heat of the day has begun to dissipate, the beach explodes with activity, locals and tourists alike. Sophie has been playing beach volleyball.
Meanwhile, CJ has used every dollar he's ever earned or received as birthday money to scuba dive (nine dives, including a night dive). Leah and I alternated going with him. (The sacrifices we must make.) The diving was spectacular. I'll post some of CJ's underwater photos separately.
Back to Dar es Salaam tomorrow, where we have to go to the Embassy to pick up our new passports. Three of us ran out of pages in the old ones!

ok, i have been holding off on this but...the last three nights have been below zero in canaan. what i am trying to say, if i am going to get beach shots, i would appreciate some surfing!
ReplyDeleteps cj, if you need a loan for more diving tell your parents i am good for it--keep going down, it helps balance the world!
