They only have to eat every four days

Lion and breakfast

A freshly killed wildebeast

Lioness

Playtime!

Lope and baby.

This baby lope (loh-pay) was so new it was still gangly and awkward on its feet.

Yan and Martin

At the breakfast table.

Yan and Ellen

Marc

Our Irish-marathoning-daffodil-dressing-friend.

Illegal Aliens

Marc and Yannick, covertly crossing the border into Tanzania, and celebrating not having to pay for a Visa.

Jeff and I

Monkey See, Monkey Do.

An Ode To The Buzzard

I look forward to teaching Laura this...or maybe I already have (ominous music...) Can't wait to have you home...love ya.

Hey Don Sorry it has been a while, it has been great reading all your notes. You entries have been so profound with your thoguhts of another country that is so often disregarded. I know how excited you are to get home, and how happy your family and friends will be to have you safe and sound with them again. Great pic's I have alot of the same since I just got back from Tanzania and Nairobi just last week. Well, ski season is soon approaching and hopefully I will get back to Canada in time to have a little powder days. Beers in the lodge!! Stay safe, get home safe and embrace your loved ones, don't let go. Cheers My
