Well today was the last day of our safari. We are currently in Lake Manyara in Tanzania. We part ways tomorrow, with Steketee and crew off to Zanzibar, and Kelly and I off to Victoria Falls for two nights (one lay over night in Johanasburg tomorrow the 27th). Internet connectivity has been difficult at best and probably won't improve until we get to Cape Town. To make matters worse the pre-typed blogs for previous days are trapped in this micosoft machine until we have time to fix the problem. Likewise, we have had two camera failures (one broken and another possibly needing a new battery) and are down to one (Video and good stills that I can transfer to this computer yet) until we can get to civilization, so any photos we send will be before this week if we get enough time to upload some.

Those difficulties aside, we have been having a lot of fun and have been exposed to the genitalia of more animal than we expected. We have now witnessed (hard to turn away) Baboons, Lions, elephants, monkeys, and gazelles procreating. Any notion that I thought I would ever have to tell Kelly about the birds and the bees is has been addressed on this trip! I will need to tell her though that there is some intimacy involved with humans, and not only time for business. This is apartenly true in the animal kingdom.

Here is a photo of a Rhino and its calf. Sort of wild. Transplanted from South Africa to the park it is in. Lake ??? I will correct that later! Blurry photo of a leopard. Didn't know it was that bad. Will correct that later too! Anyway, I got to turn this over to Kelly.....
