  • Better Late Than Never

    (Dan’s comment are in italicized) It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here for over five weeks already…and I’ve not written a thing! I’d forgotten how much work, and time, it takes to set up house; but I’m getting ahead… Continue reading

  • The Road to Maputo, Mozambique

    Days 89 thru 92 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) Our next destination was Maputo, Mozambique. A mere one hour drive from Kruger, as measured by reasonable people which we are not. Not only are we not reasonable people, but also we had… Continue reading
