There is so much to see in this world. How does one choose? For me there’s something that has to in a sense call out to me. Without fail, I’m called to explore lands off the beaten path. Places where human activity is in sync with nature. Where tourists are more travelers than conquerors. Where life is totally different than my own. Where I can once again be blown away by the vastness of diver... Read Full Entry

Shanghai Sheri

In 2006, our family began what we thought was a 3 year adventure of living and traveling in China. But like Gilligan, our 3 year tour turned into something much longer and deeper than we expected. This was just the beginning of our cultural travels and blogs. 3 years turned into 6 years and included a time of residence in South Korea as well. The kids have all transitioned into and out of college leaving us as empty nesters, but not empty of ambitions to continue to explore the world. Come along with us as we seek to expand our understanding of this marvelous world in which we live! ... full info

Seeking shade

We manuevered to within a few feet of her shady destination, not far from the water hole.

Burchell's Plains Zebra

Common to Etosha Park, the stripe pattern on this species is different than that of the Hartmann mountain zebra of Damaraland.

Rough housing at the water hole

Our turn

Springbok are abundant in Namibia. Gentle and fast, they are pretty to watch. We laughed as a herd of them sprung in front of our vehicle. Since Jeff was our driver, we aptly hamed our travels "Jeffari"!

Yet another surprising inhabitant of Namibia

Kudu

Elegant and apparently the best type of meat for the Namibian version of jerky, known as "Biltong".

Conversation

Elephants communicate with deep rumbling. I love the feel of this in my stomach as they rumble amongst each other

Water play

The elephants loved to swish their trunks in the pool, often showering themselves with the water and taking an occasional drink.

Glunk glunk glunk

This is the sound of water leaving their trunk and filling their mouth

Pale Chanting Goshawk

This guy has a lizard meal awaiting. These are large birds. We saw many during our travels around Namibia.

I'm watching you.....

I love it when a lion looks me right in the eye as I attempt to catch a photo. Reminds me of my cat.

Snoozing with the family

Sundowner in Etosha

Our last night was a special treat. We were allowed to remain out on the sundowner to watch the stars appear.

Breathe it in

Scorpio and the brilliant milky way lit the sky

Visiting Namibia would be an adventure
I have this dream about one day visiting Namibia and go an a really long adventure trip. I have seen so many wonderful photos from odd, fascinating but often very remote places in Namibia and I want to see them all. I expect that I would need to go on 4WD tours to be able to see may of them, but it would be totally worth it. /Ake
