Blame this posting on Andy Burkhardt. He sent me that lovely picture of Vermont and now he has me craving green. The Emiratis, bless them, do try really hard (probably too hard) to promote pretty flowering vegetation, but, well, we are in the desert. It's hot - 114 the other day - and only going to get hotter, and drier. Over the weekend we had our first sandstorm in around a month and a half. All of this brought me back to verdant Zanzibar, so here's a picture of a walkway through the mangrove swamp.

| We'll return to the swamp later for a discussion of popobowas and voodoo midgets. |
