Africa, part two

We have arrived back in Arusha, Tanzania, which means that the safari part of our trip has come to an end. And that is very sad, because it really was a fabulous few days. We saw amazing scenery, an astounding variety of wildlife (including, for starters, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, elephants, rhinos, ostriches, zebras, giraffes, gazelles, impalas) . . . almost all of them from a few feet away. Our driver, Samy, was a fount of knowledge about the area and the animals, and we enjoyed him greatly. I can see why people say that Africa gets under your skin. I'd love to come back, and I haven't even left yet. We're taking hundreds of photos, so those who wish can see as many as you wish. But I'm writing this from an internet cafe, so I can't attach any photos now.

Tomorrow we fly to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, via Nairobi, to start the Ethiopian part of our trip. That will be more focused on people, but with some sightseeing mixed in, for sure.

As always, if people REALLY need to reach us, the best way is by my cell phone. (We saw Maasai tribesmen, a quite primitive culture, with cell phones!) More when I can.
