Marveling at God's work...

We were so blessed to be able to spend 6 days in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania! It was so easy to see God in the beauty of the Island. We were able to have wonderful quite times and read while lying in a hammock on the beach. We stayed in Kendwa on the beach for 3 nights and in Stone Town for 2. Even though our lodging was "budget", both were so cute and comfy with AMAZING views! We all absolutely LOVED the Clove Hotel in Stone Town. I have posted a picture below of the view from the terrace where we were served breakfast and relaxed on coaches. It was so peaceful, even though there was a crow that would land on the table and drink the creamer...yucky!

A picture could never capture the true beauty, but here is our best effort!

View from the sail boat on our way back from snorkeling.

A boat anchored in the beautiful Indian Ocean just outside our hotel at the beach.

Heath, Steph and Christy on the spice tour with our bouquets of spices. On the spice tour school boys decorated us with necklaces, bracelets and crowns made of banana leaves. They were making us "Spice Princesses"!


This is the view from the terrace at our hotel in Stone Town.

Wow! These photos are breathtaking!! Great photography skills. Thanks for providing an outlet to fuel my day dreaming and pass the time on a looong Thursday afternoon at work. I bet you all don't miss working in a bleak gray cubicle one bit right now. Miss you Christy!
