here is some more pics of our safari

some safari pics. yes i know that amidst poverty and confusion it is difficult to step into another world but it was amazing! wierd to think there are so many different situations and places to see all in a three hour driving radius.

giraffe on the road


in ngorongoro crater which is an ancient volcano where many animals preside (there weren't that many when we went but further into rainy season there will be more) giraffes can't go down there cuz its too steep. in the distance in this pic is the edge of the crater and some wildebeests below.

this is an OLD fogey elephant i think 40 years old (or 80?? now i can't remember). he resides in the crater. check out those tusks!!

serengeti means "great plain" in swahili.

guess what this is!!??

Great safari shots! I haven't been to Ngorongoro but know it's a special place. Glad to hear that you're safe after the purse theft. You're experiencing both the beauty of its people and landscape, and also the risky side. Be cautious.

hey!

I am so jealous of your photo op's! Anyways, you weren't on my list because i forgot to add one little tick in the template stuff, but that is remedied now, I think! Good to see some of your world there!

On another note, in some of my work I've been looking at lots of documents talking about CRWRC Tanzania because someone from there came to see how things work here in the People's Institutions that i'm documenting! haha, small world eh?

Your safari looks beautiful Lindsay - I'm glad you're getting that kind of experience too.

On another note, did you know that Swahili and Arabic have a number of similarities? Perhaps we can swap language tips and learn a little from eachother :)

Hope all is well at the treehouse!

Did the animals go in two-by-two?

You inspired me to read Noah's ark.
Actually, you just inspire me in general. Amazing times you are having girl!
