Deja Vu?

When it comes to traveling, I've always been apprehensive about revisiting places that I've traveled to in years past. Memory is fluid and ethereal- how can the experiences of today possibly compete with the incredible ones (or at least how I remembered them to be) that took place so many years before? Would the water be as blue, the sunsets as golden, the people as friendly? And the overall feeling of a place be as exotic and romantic as what I imagined and remembered it to be like? Of course the people that I experienced it with would never be the same, but what about the place?

Zanzibar is one my special places in the world, one where my memories loom so very large that they may be more a product of my imagination than actual events. It's somewhere that I've always dreamed of returning to, and it's close to a decade to the day since I was last there. I'll let the photos say the rest.
