While roaming Eastern Africa in
the waning months of the old century I stumbled into Stonetown, a small
romantic city located on the western shores of the island of Zanzibar.
Soon I became intoxicated not by drink, but by things such as the
fading shadows of the dhows that cast their spired shapes over the
blackened waters at sunset and by spending hours sitting near the
harbor watching exotic groups
of world travelers pass by. Slipping out of my hotel room into the warm
evenings I would often wander down to the harbor and stop at the fish
vendors and delight in their exotic slivered seafood delicacies.
Zanzibar, an island located off of the eastern shores of Tanzania has a
population of slightly over 100,000 people. Read on for more information
about this fascinating International destination.
