Once upon a time...four friends went looking for an adventure.
We passed great obstacles...
(the speed bumps were much more of a problem than the giraffes and so were the Tanzanian traffic control police - I got a ticket for not having a fire extinguisher (what!?!?))
and shared the road the best we could.
We met some trouble makers along the way...
But also some of the wise and old.
But it wasn't all such a struggle, for the four of us in our not-so-spacious RAV4.
The picnics were plentiful...
and the scenes (yes, also the landscape) were to adore.
And in the end, after crossing waterfalls so magificent and great...
we basked at nature's wonders, as we found the great animals of the Tanzanian state.
Having survived the great adventure, what else coud we do, we naturally smiled...
and drank (and drank)...on the splendid beaches of Zanzibar - an island oaisis off the coast of Dar Es Saalam.
But through all this journey, the ups and the downs...
it was not only each other that kept away the frowns...
it was in fact the thoughts of snow, friends and family, but mostly importantly, Xmas at home.
