I'm still having dreams of being in Africa and it's been three weeks since we've returned. I've begun downloading my pics on the computer, and seeing each picture, I can recall the smell, the warmth of the air, the people, and landscape. It was an amazing trip of three weeks, as I've told people, it was heaven. The most amazing portion was for a family trip of nine, we ultimately did well as a group. That is amazing in itself to be on a trip with family, and for D., two sets of in-laws! Mine and my brother-in-laws', which in a sense I might consider his parents my in-laws too.
I need to write down my memories and thoughts on Tanzania--tonight I couldn't sleep--I began to recall the lightening bugs I saw at Lake Eyasi. Never in my life have I seen lightening bugs. They really are magical, which made me want to catch a handful and watch them glisten in the palm of my hand. I even had D try to take pictures of the lights in the grass. Later in Arusha, saw LB's in amongst the leaves of a tree, and once again I was caught sitting still, watching them flit between the branches and leaves. The thought of how magical they are to see and experience. I now envy the midwest & east coast for having lightening bugs. I wish we had them in Oregon.
