Brian and Jessie's African Safari

These photos took forever to load. quick description before i go crazy or pass out from the heat in the computer lab. the first four are from a hike this morning. i thought it would be an easy stroll, and i was wearing sandals, not a good idea. i made it half way up when i realized that coming down would end in disaster if i went any farther. next time i'll go prepared for an actual hike. maybe bring some water as well. i left before 7 am and was dripping sweat by 8. there was also an angry dog involved, but simply picking up a rock and pretending to throw it seemed to keep him at bay.

the photo of the monkey was taken a while ago on the way from Garoua to Ngaoundere in the North province. there's a spot on the road where you're almost garunteed to see these guys. when i look at the photo now, i'm more impressed with the paved road than the wild animal.

the kittens in the photo are 2 days old. you could hold them all in one hand. the one on top is Monkey.

the other photos are from our house.

enjoy.
