African Adventure

On July 7, 2009, all human members of The Parson's House boarded a Very Long Flight from AEX to Johannesburg, South Africa.  We were going for the first All African Leadership Conference, but found ourselves sidetracked into the Bush for the first 3 days of our trip.            The Parson's Daughter spent her 19th birthday huddled in the Freezing Cold in an open-air jeep bouncing along the remote trails of Kruger Park.  Freezing Cold was not in our initial perception of Africa in July.  But we soon found out that South Africa in July means Winter.  And Winter in South Africa is beyond comprehension.  Especially in an open-air jeep.  The first hours of
 the first morning are shrouded in a blur of icy memories, but about mid-day the weather warmed up, along with our eyesight and camera-clicking fingers.  

We found some amazing sights along the trail.  

This is a memory which all agreed will not be soon forgotten nor equaled....

Aww, I was hoping for an elephant picture! *wink*

Glad it was a fun trip! I forgot about your picture book Sunday! I'm having one printed, so I'll bring it in September and we can swam stories. :)

LOL - that should be "swap stories". I shouldn't post comments this late at night. :P
