Going Global

I left Chicago heading west in the beginning of April '07 and continued going west until March 1st, 2008 when I returned to Chicago having confirmed that the world is indeed round. The stops along the way - Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Nepal, India, and Tanzania. As of March, 2008, I retired my backpack and posted my final entry about this journey. All the entries are still there for your reading enjoyment. Remember, the entries are shown newest to oldest.

African Buffalo

The horns on these humored me. They look like a bad hair style.

Cheetah

Never saw one running...but they just look fast.

Serengeti Sunrise

Goliath Heron

with a decent reflection...

Baby

Kopje

Every now and then there would be these groupings of rocks (kopje) that reminded me of Pride Rock from The Lion King

Out For A Sunday Stroll

The Dancing Giraffe

He kinda looks like he's shaking a couple of legs here

Savanna Baboon

Joining The Action

This guy was on his way to play his part in the hunt.

In Position

This was his temporary spot during the hunt.

Impala

Cool horns on these guys

Serval Cat

He was sneaky and hard to get a clear shot of. The birds nearby alerted us to his presence so that we were on the lookout.

Head Shot

Pouncing Lessons

Playfully stalking his family members.

Standard Activity

The Zebra basically just do this...all day...every day. Fun, eh?

Big Fella

This dude is huge. Check out those tusks

Kinda Like An Iceberg...

...mostly below the water.

Doing The Hippo-Shuffle

Say "Ahhh"

Manyara Giraffes

These guys were in the plains near Lake Manyara. You can kinda see all the pink flamingos in the far distance
