Christine and I was able to make it back from Kenya in one piece. It was a wonderful and satisfying adventure with Tim, Marlene, Juan, and Mark in a foreign land. After this experience, even the best of zoos, San Diego Zoo, pales in comparison to the expanse of the African Masai Mara plains.
The animals wandering free and unafraid of human presence was an unerving perspective I was unfamiliar with at the beginning; however, it soon felt natural as it was the natural primal order of the wild. I think all of us soon felt at peace in the plains and were refreshed by the natural splendor, despite the tiring 24 hour flight to get to Kenya.
