Bagamoyo

Jan 26 2020

Forgive the multitude of photos in this post, but we saw so much this past weekend.  We visited a town called Bagamoyo (originally Buagamoyo, which means “lay down your heart”).  For the history of Bagamoyo, click here.

While in Bagamoyo, we stayed at the Livingstone Beach Resort.  Although we lost power a few times, and had a somewhat-difficult time locating drinking water, we had a marvelous time exploring, playing, swimming, and relaxing.  Of course we also walked A LOT, which drummed up a few complaints, but it was also nice to see the town in action.

We also visited TaSUBa, and art institute, that offers a wide variety of different arts, including theater, music performance, visual arts, etc.  It was very refreshing to see a place where people can develop their craft.
