Photo Weekend: An African teaser

-

Followers of this space may have figured out that I've been in Africa for the last month. After a very full schedule of hiking, safaris, and a visit to Victoria Falls, I came back to the US in time for my son's wedding (a schedule that was undeniably a little fraught).

Naturally I don't have the photos edited and I'm not quite ready to do a proper trip report, even of the first bit, but I thought I'd throw out a teaser with a few highlights.

The trip had basically five parts.

1. Tanzanian Safari. 

Petey Possum is ready for adventure!
 
Some things have to be seen to be believed.


2. Mt. Meru Climb (Tanzania)

Are we really going up there?

Yes, we did!

3. Mt. Kenya circumambulation (Kenya)

Going around that.

Weather.

4. Kenya Safari

Animals large...

... and small

5. Victoria Falls


Hope that this has caught your interest enough to keep you coming back! I'll be posting full trip reports (lots of photos!) as I get the photos edited. Watch the weekend posts over the next few weeks/months!

I'm posting today with t he fantastic Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays blog hop hosted by Greg Pattridge of Always in the Middle . Check out Greg's blog for a list of additional middle grade reviews.  As often happens, I'm not sure how I chose this one. It might have been reviewed earlier by one of my fellow MMGM posters, or I might have just found it while browsing the library. It sat on my Kindle for quite a while before I got down to it. Title: Carry Me Home Author: Janet Fox Publication Info: 2021, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. 220 pages (Kindle Edition). Source: Library Publisher's Blurb : Twelve-year-old Lulu and her younger sister, Serena, have a secret. As Daddy always says, “it’s best if we keep it to ourselves,” and so they have.

But as the days add up, ...
