Lamu
Beautiful 6:30pm. Before Prayer sight and yes it was a full moon.
First Mosque Built in Lamu in the 14th Century
The Island known for having no cars. Lamu's narrow streets and structure is so old that it can nott support land motor vehicles but there are definitely a colorful array of Dhows, sell boats and speed boats which the "beach boys" operate. The Beach Boys have locks that have become lighter from always being in salt water like the Jamaicans. Lamu is a very muslim small island that has 29 mosques (Msikiti) in a ten mile diameter. One could never miss prayer here.
