Killi I know I am VERY MUCH behind but wanted to check on your Killi experience! Sorry about the downhill but WELL DONE on summiting! I have just arrived home from a Norwegian climbing trip! Hope to one day come climb in Canada!
Hendre! Hey Hendre - great to hear from you and hope your trip was fantastic! Are you on facebook? if so, look me up here: https://www.facebook.com/liz.sinclair.31
let's stay in touch!
It will be nice to be back (and have you back), but mixed feelings to leave African air and soil? (even though your experience of the park sounds like fodder for discussion). You and Jboy can exchange delirium stories! Deets please. We call his "the plague". :)H
definitely lots of discussion ahead. hahaha - will have to swap some tales with you and J on all sorts of things! Not a lot of mixed feelings right now, loved our trip and love being home!! Can't wait to catch up soon! xoxoxo
Aww Seeing primates grooming each other always gives me the warm-and-fuzzies. They look so nice "at home" like this, which is funny considering what raging destructive maniacs they can be otherwise. Kind of like people, I guess.
You probably didn't miss out on much, frankly. "Ooh, look at our special room! It's got a chair and some cloth. No women allowed! Totally what Jesus would have done."

Probably... St. Francis was said to have worn a hair shirt under his "rough clothing" at all times. There is a story that when he was first "called to God", he took cloth from his cloth merchant father's shop and sold it to get money to repair a crumbling church. His father took him before the bishop to answer for the theft and the bishop told him to return the money; God would provide for the church. So St. Francis returned the money and also stripped off the rich clothing provided to him by his father and left that place wearing only a hair shirt. It's great being raised Catholic, eh? :)
I love tortoises! Renee - they were amazing! what an unexpected treat - visiting them ranks in the top 10 trip highlights for sure - thanks for the tip!
tortoises they kind of remind me of Jack. He always wants a stratch or a treat. Momma kind of looks like him in profile. he sends you lots of love and a whole list of complaints ie water not warm enough. Your pictures are amazing but I long to give both of you a big hug I miss you so much
Congrats! Wow, congratulation! What an amazing feat. The pictures are beautiful, can't even imagine what it actually looks like when not seeing it on screen. Hope you are all rested up!
