Not-Quite-Country Girl

Just wanted to let you know, in case you miss me or something, that I'll be gone for a long weekend in Florida's gator country.

One last safari post...just a few more of the amazing animals and birds we encountered in the Chitabe reserve.

The most incredible evening of our safari began at this termite mound.

The first time we visited Botswana, we were surprised at all the sand.  

Every new morning in the African bush is like opening a gift...we are always so excited to see what surprises God has in store for us!

Not a bad way to begin our time at Chitabe Camp... not bad at all!

The final leg of our September adventures in southern Africa took Kenny, Kim, and me along with our guide Brooks to Chitabe Camp in Botswana's Okavango Delta.

Today is the day we've been excitedly anticipating for months.

We always have some extra time to spend before we can check into our beach house late Sunday afternoon.  So this year Kim and I thought we'd check out a nearby state park.

It's a long 15-hour drive from our cabin to our beach house on Emerald Isle...doable and has been done a few times, but we've found we enjoy the trip much more if we break up the drive into a couple of days.
