Highlights

Well, we are home and slowly adjusting to life back in the US. It's so strange to have things like internet and phones and be able to order labs at work. A post describing our entire week of vacation would be extremely long but I thought I would share some of the highlights of the week for me.

Our husbands arriving in Botswana has to be on the list. It was great to see them after 3 weeks. We all went out and climbed Kgale hill the day they arrived and it was a lot of fun showing them what we have been up to. Plus, we found yet another way to climb the hill so every trip has been different.

Our entire trip to Kwara camp in the Delta was amazing. Our guides found just about everything we wanted to see (except for the elusive leopard) even when it ment driving off road, over shrubs and trees to get there first. We saw lions eating a zebra (just a few feet from the car), a large pride of lions with 19 month old cubs, wild dogs killing an impala (gruesome as that was), cheetas, hippos, elephants and every antelope species you can imagine. the camp was beautiful (it's my kind of camping to have hardwood floors in your tent) and the food was great. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. We took a scenic flight over the delta which was great. It's fun to see the animals from the air and even saw a rhino which is apparently really rare.

Victoria Falls was beautiful, there is so much spray that it feels like it was raining. We even got to take a helicopter tour over the falls. It was short but one of my favorite things from the trip. I'm going to try to get some pictures uploaded later today, however I am not as smart as Micah and may not be able to figure it out. If not, I'll post a link to my snapfish account (assuming I can figure out how to post a link. I know it should be easy but I'll blame it on jet lag).
