Tarangire

Happy Easter!!

Our last safari day...Tarangerie reminded me of driving in rocky mtn natl park looking for elk, but here we are looking for elephants, lions, and giraffes:)
We left Haven Nature, after a breakfast of toast, honey and tea...just can'y seem to swallow much else:)
The drive to Tarangerie is a bit barren, and hot...
We see Lots of elephants, giraffe's, and Impala, the one thing we did'nt see is a Semba(male lion).
After driving for hours, we come to an over look and have our boxed lunch...As Kristi and I find a shaded spot we notice several monkeys, they look so cute until...The race out of the tree and grab Kristi's sandwich wrapper and all...as we were stunned and laughing, he comes again and takes her pancakes:) Time to move!
The day is hot but the adventure is fun...now the long drive back to Moshi town. We are on the road for about an hour and a terriible rain storm is upon us....I have been nervous about driving in Africa from the beginning, but this was so scary, the wipers hardly keep up! Just prayed quietly and Had to trust Frank's driving:-)
We make it back to Moshi, unpack, everything I own is SO dirty, so a little hand washing in order...We put out underwear discreetly over the back of a chair on our porch...head over to the dining room for some pizza and a Tusker beer. As we return the maid that cleans our room gives us a big smile...she had put our underwear in the sun all over the lawn:) Just had to smile at her and say Ashanti Sana!!(thank you very much)
A quiet evening of reading and reflection....
I continue to review in my mind the word 'Freedom"...What is freedom?? I was blessed into a generation of really not needing much, but Having so much!



My journey one step at a time From the top!!
