I've never seen such things before. We got to spend a day at the Ngorongoro Crater and a morning/afternoon at Tarangire. We leave for Mandaka (a teacher's college at the slopes of Kilimanjaro) in an hour, so I have no time to write about it, but I promise to upon return. For now, I leave you with a funny quote and a sneak peek of photographs to come.
A boy runs up to Andrew after music class and says in a low voice
"Teacher, Sorry about Michael Jackson."
(Godfrey, a 4th grade boy with a knack for making up his own lyrics and rapping them)
Photos from Ngorongoro:
A pack of baboons greeted us upon entering the park. This one's eyes are particularly catching.
We came across an elephant at a watering hole. Notice the hippos to the left, backs just poking out of the water. I could have watched this elephant eat for hours. . . literally. Could have sat there. For hours. And just watched.
The beautiful stripes of zebras~ these guys seem to be everywhere.
The road that stretches for miles in the crater.

One word: Simba.
It is hard to not sit for hours :)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are excellent. I wanted to add that one of my favorite parts about such excursions when I went was the creaking wheels of the van as it made its way over the dust and rocks of the Sahara. Got me every time.
