We’re back in Africa with Albatrossity today. Then we are treated to 3 days of MollyS, who takes us to Lyon, France. Then on Friday we have the final post of the French Basque Country series. Maybe if we all ask nicely, Steve will do another series for us.
Albatrossity
After our domestic excursion to North Carolina last Monday, it’s back to Africa for a while!
Day 2 at Tarangire National Park did not include any rainstorms, but we saw a plethora of birds and some unique ecosystems. Many of these birds were already starting to seem familiar, but a new life bird might show up every time I raised my binoculars or camera. Drinking from a fire hose is the best analogy/cliché that I can think of to describe this feeling.
On our way to the park that morning, after a lovely overnight stay at the nearby Burunge Tented Lodge (check out that swimming pool!), we watched zebras and wildebeest grazing along the roadside. This was our first encounter with the two most numerous hoofed herbivores of the Serengeti ecosystem. You can also see a Thomson’s Gazelle (aka cheetah box lunch) grazing in the background here.
