Album: Henry’s in Africa

Well, we are home again. What a trip. Traveling with Dan and Chip was adventure in itself but throw in a riot, a lot of muddy sticky rocky roads, a police shakedown, the Indian Ocean, crazy people and animals, a few thousand kilometers of driving on the “wrong” side of the road, lots of beer, wine tasting, shopping, fishing and eating and you can imagine a bit of our odyssey.

It was a trip down memory lane for Chip and I to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and it was made even better by showing Dan our Lesotho. The last few days were spent in the relative luxury of South Africa which is a interesting and new place to us without Apartheid. We have lots of pictures, of course. All three of us had cameras so most everything is well documented. Linda
