In numbers:
3 – number of times one of our safari vans broke down
1 – number of books Kevin finished reading (High Fidelity, Nick Hornby)
1.8 – number of times larger an ostrich looks in real life than in my imagination
1,313 – how many Tanzanian shillings one US dollar can buy
10 – number of new people who joined our tour
3 – longest number of days gone without showering
15 – maximum number of minutes one can stay clean after taking a shower
284 – number of times I have, in all seriousness, contemplating shaving my head, so that I don’t have to deal with the dust that settles on my scalp
In pictures:
I am an elephant
Our tent marker at the Masai Mara campsite
Enjoying an imaginary coffee at Stiggbucks
At the entrance to the Ngorongoro crater
These three cheetahs were on “Big Cats Diary”
A lioness with a hurt paw
An elephant stands guard while the rest of his herd crosses the road
Still fascinated by the sky – I think I will try and bring it home with me

Hahaha, Stiggbucks! FYI, the lesser known Starbucks came out with the red holiday cups (!) yesterday – want to make sure you’re not missing all the important news from home.
