STONE TOWN AND ITS DOORS

Stone Town is well known for having a great amount of old doors in different styles. The indian ones with the spikes on it to prevent the elefants that never existed on Zanzibar to enter the houses. I hardly actually can see where an elefant could find place in the narrows streets. And then we have the Oman, arabic styled doorrs in wood as well.  All of them well decorated and very very old.
It's a pleasure to stroll around the town and take pictures of them.





A shop that sells children dresses.

This last dorr is actually taken outside Stone Town in a village in the countryside.

GALWAY A LOVELY TOWN IN IRLAND



Found some pictures from last year and I thought I share them with you. We were one week in Irland last Spring. For me it was the second time and I could see the new buildings and the EU money that they used to restore old houses and streets and parks.

Galway is really a special little town on the west coast of Irland. People are lovely and food in the pub, and the music is good.

Here just some street pictures.
