Africa

We just returned home last night. The safari was awesome. The highlight was watching a leopard stalk a gazelle for about 45 minutes (see the below picture). The gazelle barely got away. Another highlight was seeing the great wildebeest migration through the Serengeti Plains. No picture could possibly capture that amazing sight, with hundreds of thousands of wildebeest as far as the eye could see in every direction for an hour of driving. We had plenty of adventure along the way with a flash flood, five flat tires and crossing a couple of rivers.

It was unbelievable to see the conditions that many of the local people live in. I was certainly left feeling grateful for all that I have. A Maasai warrior gave us a tour of his village near the Serengeti. They live in extremely small huts and have very poor santitation. We were excited to give them two suitcases full of school supplies and toys.

Enjoy these pictures (taken by my bro-in-law Michael) and I can't wait to tell you more about it the next time I see you.
