We've been home for 3.5 weeks now... longer than our trip, and we're both still having trouble adjusting to being back, wishing we were still there as well as waking up early. Since being back, we watched two shows about the most dangerous towns in the world, one in India with killer elephants, one where we were off of the Zambeze River and the killer hippos... SOOOO glad I didn't see the later before we went. I had no idea hippos were so vicious and deadly! People keep asking what the best part of the trip was. For me, the trip was just better and better each day, the "best day" I blogged about does stand out to me still as the best day of the trip.

The Baby turned 50 years old this year. My sisters and I grew up in Modesto California until my little sister Kathleen, graduated from the 6th grade. We then moved to Campbell California.

My father, grandpa Doc Dave turned 77 years old this week so we decided to celebrate his birthday. The furthest distance award goes to my sister Kathleen who flew in from London. My father’s sister Sue flew in from Florida, and my father’s sister Nancy flew in from Chicago. My father grew up in Chicago and is the oldest of eight siblings. He brought us to California where he practiced medicine for 50 odd years. As usual, we all sat around for hours and enjoyed great food and wine and talked about old times, new times, politics, religion, and travel. We danced a little, we sang a little, and we told a joke or two. We stayed up late and played Apples to Apples. My mom made her world famous potato salad. All is good in ... read more
