Here are some pictures of yesterday's quick trip to Tarangire, a beautiful national park that's famous for being full of elephants! I had many beautiful, restful, peaceful moments up at the fancy lodge we stayed at ($65 a night which none of us can really afford), and we did a couple of short game drives where I had my first sighting of many species in the wild! In the future, I think I'll skip out on the fancy stuff ($6 cocktails, hot showers) in favor of a more rustic experience -- and I'd definitely go for more than one day. Still, the place is totally gorgeous, and it was my first ever trip into the bush (though it wasn't all that rustic ...)
The zebra traffic was heavy coming into the park.
The lodge looked out over enormous, expansive, never-ending plains.
A bunch of wildebeest boldly crossed our path on the way up to the lodge.
The sunset was gorgeous ...
We didn't get to look at these giraffes long enough!
Love,
Ellen

How exciting all of this must be,it's unbelievable and great to see pictures. You are so lucky to be able to experience these adventures. I guess we must wait for the next chapter in your journey. It's so nice to share in your special times in Africa.

My dear,
So wonderful to read of your travels. Am planning to write soon, and send clips from an upcoming story about the evolution and music of 19th century banjoes in Appalachia. It's wildly exciting to see these pictures and I thank Gob (my nickname for the internets) every day for information he brings at the command of mere fingertapping.
In a state of well-earned serenity and emotional rest,

Darling,
So fab to see a smidgen of your African journeys! Do look out, as a discrete little package (in a large envelope-ish shape) was recently sent your way! How I do hope it makes it to you!!
All my love,
