Safari

Julia and Viggo live in northern Tanzania. Many of the largest "game parks" in the country (even in all Africa) are within a few hours drive of their home. They arranged for a two day deal where we had a spacious jumbo Land Rover and an experienced driver to show us two of the parks: Tarangire and Ngorogo. The best park depends on the season and what kind of animals you want to see. It was dry season and we hoped to see lots and lots of all sorts of animals. We were not disappointed. During our one night away from home, we stayed in a guest house outside of Ngorogo. It is a lot cheaper than staying in a lodge inside a park. The lodges tend to be quite luxurious and expensive. I see that I failed to get any pictures of the large herds of zebra and wildebeest;We saw many. Here in no particular order are some of the photos I liked best of our safari days:

Wow. What great pictures. Theona enjoyed looking at the animals with me. :) Nice to see pics of my friend Julia and her adorable little son, too! She should post more often! We like hearing about what's going on.

Oh, and I should ask her if she wants a couple tried and tested bread recipes, since, you say, she's making her own. I've been making bread for us since before Jecoa was born, so a little over a year and a half now. wow. We love it. It takes a little effort and planning, but the store bread just doesn't taste as good anymore... haha

Thanks for sharing some of your trip. It looks amazing.
