Safari, Part 4: The Road Home

It seems like this road trip was ages ago now. I wish I would have written things down while everything was still fresh in my head, but you know how it goes. I guess I'll have to let the pictures do most of the storytelling. I think I was able to get some pretty awesome ones, if I do say so myself. Some of the animal pictures are even better than the ones I took while on actual safari, and these are just ones we saw on the side of the main highway. 
Traditional housing in the villages we passed.
Overlooking Mikumi, Tanzania
We stopped for pictures when we saw these elephants crossing.
And then we came across this family.
They were bathing in the mud.
The babies were adorable.
An evil-looking baboon.
I left the truck in this picture so you could get an idea of how close he was to us.
Sorry about the quality... it was taken out a dirty windshield.
There were lots of maasai hearding various animals. We saw a whole heard of cows (about 14 of them) dying in the middle of the road (along with the bus that plowed through them). It was too depressing to take pictures of.
There were a bunch of waterfalls flowing down this mountain. Reminded me of Hawaii.
Tons of mosques here.

Day 21, Tuesday: A list of links to your favorite posts in your archives

Wow. This took entirely too long. I planned on writing descriptions under each post, but no way. Maybe one day, but definitely not today. I apparently have way too many favorites. Some are my favorites because of the pictures, others because of the words. I categorized them to make some sense of them; not sure it helped. It was worth it, though. I've been meaning to do this for a long time- if not for my readers then for me. I like having some sort of table of contents, making it easy for me to look back on the memories I love the most. The funny thing is I even had more I wanted to add. Again, maybe one day.
