We had some friends come in to visit us and so we took the opportunity to go on a couple of trips. First we went to one of the national parks in Tanzania...no, we didn't go to the Serengeti as much as we wish we could have, but we did go to the Mikumi National Park. I'm sure we would have seen a heck of a lot more animals if we had gone to Serengeti but Mikumi was good for us. So we loaded up into a safari vehicle with our driver Abel and headed out to Mikumi one morning. It was nice to have a driver and not have to worry about anything especially when right before we entered the park area something on the car broke. We made it to where we were staying for our time there and then Abel got the car fixed. And we headed out on safari right on schedule. We were able to see all the usual animals, elephants, impala, zebras, giraffes, hippos, etc, but the best part was that we got to see lions, tigers and bears...haha, just kidding we didn't see any tigers or bears, they don't even exist in this park let alone in Tanzania, but we did get to see lions a couple of lions. We drove out into the field and got up close and personal with the lions. One of them even got up and started roaring at us (I think it was Simba working on his ROAR). Honestly besides the great company of good friends and the enjoyment of the greatness of God in His creation, seeing the lion was the highlight. So I won't bore you with pictures of all the animals we saw.
Here's Simba working on his roar...shortly after he started our driver said, ok hurry up with your pictures so we can get out of here, i think he was scared...well i'm sure he said in a different way but i can't remember his exact words
the beautiful sunset...if any of you know me out there you know that i had to take a picture of the sunset and really you know that i probably took dozens of them
this is us with our driver...we had fun with him, he didn't really tell us much about the animals or anything but he found us the lion and drove into the field for us to see him and he would say the cutest things

WOW! That's an amazing sunset! So... I've been meaning to email you since May, but we have no internet so I have no time :( But tomorrow I go back to school, so maybe this week? Love you still and miss you (even though it's been forever)!!
WOW, I am sure Sara would be MUCH more impressed by that lion than the one at the Houston zoo that always hides from us. Hope all is well, you're in my prayers sweet friend. Take care. Love ya!
