It's Not What You Thought, When You First Began It

Okay, I have no officially replaced all these photos. These are things I have bought in Africa from Namibia to Kenya... in places like Maputo, Mozambique but mostly in Mombasa. There are stories here about trading pens and sodas for things... this whole bartering thing is something I could get into. There are also pictures here from Safari in Kenya and from... well, I don't have a lot of time but let's see what I can get done before I have to go.
The feet of an Italian, an American, a few Canadians, a Romanian, and an Australian in Kenya.

I was standng in the front of the safari van, looking quite like the great white hunter in my safari vest... and the best photos I got all day were not of any animals. We saw elephants, giraffes (sorta), water buffalo, baboons, French people, and Filipinos, but mostly it was uneventful driving around punctuated by a few moments of "is that?!?!?...no."

This elephant tried to charge the van in front of us when the van got too close. That would've made good video, but it stopped advancing.

I bought this basket on my first day in Africa, at a market in Walvisbay, Namibia. All this handmade stuff, inexpensive, and some of you are going to get the COOLEST gifts. Others, turn green with envy. Okay my battery is dying... not much more time...

These statues of Masai warriors are bigger than they look. Thank goodness for Ft. Lauderdale disembarkation.

Okay gotta finish later... this giraffe, though... it's stunning seen "in person..." and huge...





























This is yesterday in the Seychelles, and now I have a HORRIBLE sunburn... updated 2/16...
