February 2020. We are still in Tucson, Arizona, well, often anyway. We continue our wanderings and enjoying our adventures.

Sherri had hurt her foot, so she brought along a camp chair - what a hoot, the kids LOVED the chair, its pockets and the fact that it brought them down to their level. Look at all the different hairstyles the kids have.

San Game

The San people were so joyous - they played games all afternoon, invited us, but seemed to be really enjoying playing with each other. They were tossing a melon, which had to be caught one-handed. They NEVER dropped it.

I don't usually read much of your blogs... They are so interesting but long. But this one really was good. Camping in the bush was really interesting. Pictures were great!
