Eid and Spice tour

Stone was an arabic town and is still now mostly Muslim.  We were here during Eid.  Eid is the end of fasting called Ramadan.  It is for a month and they fast all day until nightfall.  Eid celebrated the end of the month long fasting.

The next day we went to a farm for a Spice tour.  We saw many spices we recognized such as cinnamon, cardamon, turmeric, ginger, vanilla, pepper, nutmeg and many more.

At the end of the tour a man named Butterfly climbed a tall coconut tree and got two coconuts for us.  While he was climbing he was singing a song that we learned called Jambo Bwana.
