We just did a spice tour out side of Stone Town. We tasted all the spices right off the tree and sampled all kinds of tropical fruits some of which I have never seen before, for example there was one called Bongo. Then we went to the beach for a swim in the 70 degree water. My pale frame could only handle a couple minutes int he sun thought, had to retreat to the shade and hamster size ants. We are off to Kendwa in the north of Zanzibar. We have a day of diving around Memba island lined up for tomorow. Love you lots - later<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sent at 8:51 AM on Friday<BR/>Donald: nice to hear from you. i love getting chats, but if it is between chatting me up and putting it on the blog for everyone, then do the blog. sounds like a very great trip so far. all the spices and food must open your head up to new ideas on cooking. love to you both. all of us here.donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167876604288737643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184482945548751061.post-45091638120240836432009-01-22T07:45:00.000-08:002009-01-22T07:45:00.000-08:00hey, this is the real stuff!! love your work. th...hey, this is the real stuff!! love your work. this sort of reporting suits you well. glad you 'love it'. you must if you are to travel in the third world. i think it wore me down too much. i am so glad to see you guys doing this and getting so much out of it. tea at the hilton is for wusses and wannabes. i have to laugh trying to imagine the masai reaction to natty. love and many thanks from maine - don, pat and all.donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167876604288737643noreply@blogger.com
