The "Obama Tree"

When people would ask us where we were from and when we said "Chicago," they immediately said "Obama." Barack Obama is a very well known and loved person in Zanzibar - no doubt throughout Africa as well. Well the "Obama Tree" is a tourist attraction in Stone Town. It was told to us that many people would gather and express support for Obama under this tree prior to the election.

You may not be able to see it clearly, but the red paint says, "Zanzibar 4 Obama."
