How to kill time on yet another layover!


Michael and Sydney playing games in the Mwangaa airport in Zambia - so cute!

Mopani worms...a Kenyan delicacy!



Sydney and Connor were determined to eat the Mopai worms but both gagged and gave up!  Michael and I did not even try!

Boma African dinner show



This was our last night in Zimbabwe and Michael booked dinner at this African Boma dinner/show and it was amazing.  I was worried because the kids were tired and wanted to stay at the hotel but the entertainment was so fantastic they forgot about how tired they were!

Zambezi hippo's



Sleepy momma and very new baby with mom enjoying the sunset on the Zambezi river with us.  This pod of hippo's put on quite a show for us!

Our new friend and student, Taurai

Taurai is studying tourism and we were lucky enough to meet him while he was on a school/work assignment in Victoria Falls.  Once again...so impressed by this young man's dedication to his education and the sacrifices his parents are making to send him to University!  We hope that someday his wish to visit the U.S. comes true and that he will visit us here in SoCal!  Blessings to you, Taurai!

Sunset Cruise on the Zambezi River



This was another beautiful experience where we made new friends and enjoyed the beautiful setting of the Zambezi river, which separates Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Last day/travel pix coming...

Dead slow

This was a street sign near our hotel in Zimbabwe that I have never seen anywhere else in the world!

Meeting Mandela

The beaded version, in the Johannesburg airport! Amazing detail!
