Africa

The magnificent colors, the patterns, the diversity, the languages, The food, the exotic animals. Lions, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, Where else could we find these beauties out in the wild, Living the life, Free, joyful, colorful and happy? The friendliness of the people, the confidence they exude, holding onto tradition and culture, lifting each other, raising all children, as a village, not separately, in a box Drumming, Singing, Dancing, Delighting, Loving, Laughing Many countries, all unique A plethora of languages, Beautiful, joyful, happy Wonderful Africa.

Oh such an evocative picture you have painted Caren, as if by your very own paint brushes, but your comment about planes brought a smile to my face, how can they contain your free spirit - never thank goodness! Kindest thoughts Ann xx

I have to tell you Ann, I went to Hawaii once, and they had to put me in three straight jackets and a Hannibal Lector mask to get me back over here.

I attended a lecture given by a lady who spent 6 months of the year in Africa. She said, "Africa" was, "The only place where the past meets the present and works beautifully."

Africa is BEAUTIFUL. If they could SEDATE me and throw me onto a plane and not wake me up until I arrived, I would go there every weekend. I do not do planes yet, as they want you to SIT down.
