A Few Pictures.

Here's what you missed:

Uganda: Jump off of me.

Lake Nakuru, Kenya

To clarify -- This is a Rock Hyrax.

But they're so cute....

And I probably don't have rabies.

Orient yourself. You're still in Kenya.

And enjoy the view.

Chase a Giraffe into the forest on foot.

Don't scare the flamingo.


And move on to Ethiopia...
Lake Tana and its monasteries...

You heard what the sign said!

9 century old bibles hand written on goat skin, displayed by adorable monks abound...


Gondor, Ethiopia -- The Camelot of Africa, as they say.

The Simien Mountains.

Ethiopian Angels.

Lalibela, Ethiopia and it's rock hewn churches...
These churches were carved directly out of bare rock. Ground level is at the top of the picture.

Yup. Carved out of a hillside.

The church interiors are carved from the same single stone.


Look for the people at the left side of the picture for scale.


This nun paints Ethiopian Christian religious imagery on small patches of goat hide from her monastery atop this mountain...


Feeding the hyenas in Harar, Ethiopia. Because I probably didn't have rabies yet.

Malawi.

Northern Mozambique


Rwanda. Gorillas and Genocide...

It's kind of how you picture The Jungle. Right Max?


Yup. We're that close. That's a silverback.

Please take a moment to appreciate the relaxed attitude of the baby on the left. It's good to be king of the Jungle...

Elsewhere....

Church Genocide site.


The near sign marks the place where French soldiers played volleyball while 50,000 bodies were thrown into mass graves (marked by the further sign).

Spain.
Meanwhile, at the Alhambra, in Granada, there hasn't been a genocide since ... the Inquisition.

Take a look at that white wall in the foreground. Closer...

Closer....

Close enough. Now remember that.




and now?
