food and elephants
reading your blog is most enjoyable and brings back so many wonderful memories. We ate at a restaurant that had a huge fire with spits cooking all kinds of wild animals. They came around with platters and told you what the anilmal was. Everything I tried was great. Sorry Bill can't stay longer. The elepant pictures are marvelous. We toured Kruger National Park and I didn't get the wonderful pics you have. You have a great camera. Enjoy AB
