  ''Mom! You left me up here now how do I get down?''  ''Hello again all. Hubby and I are back from Africa as of late Sunday, July 2 after 30 someodd hours of travel and some very tight connections. It was an AMAZING experience. We saw more than I imagined...including the big 5...some so close to the land rover I could have petted them. Including two male lions, a cheetah and her almost fullgrown cub and any number of zebra. Walked on top of a hyena "condo" [an area of burrow that we knew were active due to the bones], held a wart hog's tusk in my hands (sans the warthog), saw a stalking of a wildebeest by a group of 10 hyena,  a fight between hippos, a wildebeest give a ''   Now GET OUT of my yard!  'hyena a head butt, and got hugs from glorious Masi children while helping them plant vegetables in their garden and so much more. ''As expected, internet was non existant except for going there and coming back and that was limited by the time of airport layovers   Lunch with dad.  '''. Sighting animals in the tall grass and along the endless plain of the Seringetti is more difficult than finding objects in the Lost Labratory. Perhaps the game was good training for finding animals in the distance- and having excellent experienced guides also helped! Hubby took thousands of pictures and is downloading them now. Will write later when my head is back into my time zone. Here are just a few.''   She was close enough to pet from the Land Rover's window.  Till then, thanks for your gifties and zaps and sticking with me while I was away.
