(Andrew) Adrenaline pumped through my veins hearing the baboons’ alarm calls followed by zebras’. Many predators were the suspects of the crime; lions, a leopard and the rare chance of wild dogs. A lion was guilty of the noise. A single, solitary, hungry lioness was sulking around failing to catch prey. She had a big, […]

August 18 — We spent the morning learning about and interacting with cheetahs at the Tenikwa Cheetah Sanctuary near Tsitsikammi Park in South Africa. The kid’s reactions are below: (Reis) Three things that come to mind when you think of cheetahs are Speed, Spots, and Super Predator. But what people don’t know is it’s not […]

(Andrew) Boom! The engine roared to life. ATVing in the Namib Desert. Dad and I were in the same ATV, zooming out of Serra Cafema. Serra Cafema is a little desert oasis in, literally, the middle of nowhere. The camp is on the Kunene River which marks the border of Namibia and Angola. If you […]

There we visited the best-preserved theater in the WORLD. There we took some pictures and a sketched the view. After that we went to a path so Alex could […]

(Andrew) Eyjafjallajokull(the volcano that jut erupted in Iceland) is right above our quaint, little hut. It is a very nice home and is miniature but fits us perfectly. There are 2 beds for Mom and Dad and 4 mattresses in the “sleeping loft.” Unlike Snorrabud, our last house that said they had a sleeping loft […]

With better math thanks to Mr. Dintersmith who proved that people really do read this stuff: 42 days until we leave, 1,008 hours, 60,480 minutes, 3,628,000 seconds! Things are getting real. The trip used to be 1 year away, “such a long time!”, “no needing to worry!”, now it is just more than a month! […]
