If you come to Stone Town, you will get lost. You will find a shopkeeper who speaks English. He will want to be helpful, but his directions may or may not be correct. You will not have a map that indicates the names of the lanes: it seems that only the storekeepers know some of them. Eventually you will see a landmark, or the water--- something that you will show you that you have been going the opposite direction from where you intended to be. You will decide that it was all worthwhile.

Looking at these photos with envy... how could wandering down nameless streets NOT be worthwhile? xo
ReplyDeleteLove these photos!! The streets look a little different from Boston's... possibly more inviting, actually!
