PHOTO FRIDAY: ZANZIBAR RAINBOW

We thought we'd never see anything like the Photo Friday rainbow over Burma's Inle Lake from months ago. But an afternoon thunderstorm on our first day in Zanzibar produced a scene we thought was pretty close. 

Above, two men pole their boat through the shallows as another sails past in the distance. Welcome to Zanzibar indeed.

PHOTO FRIDAY: PADDLING FOR GOLD

Yes, that's a real rainbow, and it looks like this fisherman on Inle Lake in Burma is paddling straight for it. Not sure if he ever made it to the end for his pot 'o gold or not, but we thought the view was pretty priceless either way. 

By the way, if you're like us and confused about the whole Burma vs. Myanmar thing, here's a story on the name change. The country used to be called Burma, but the new government changed it to Myanmar. They also changed the names of many cities (Rangoon became Yangon, for example) and have re-located the capital as well.
