Trophy Hunting in Africa

     Sarcasm Department:  Wouldn't that tail look good hanging from my wall. I could put it next to the elephant tusks. Then, I could show folks my bottle of ground rhino horn. Does that make sense to you? It doesn't to me. We went to five countries in southern Africa with fully load digital cameras. We brought home somewhere around 3000 trophies stored on our computer that we can call up anytime we want. Nothing died, Nothing was killed. The economies of five countries, plus Air France were made more secure.

In Segovia Spain

Here is Saint Juan de la Cruz in Segovia Spain. Segovia is only a short distance north of Madrid and I recommend it highly, The Alcazar is beautiful and it is a wonderful small town.

Where are we?

The gray marks are because these photo were taken out of the window of a car traveling along a road. This could be in the foothills of California, or in the northern part of Italy, or even in the hill country of France. These photos were taken on the road between Granada and Rhonda Spain.  The cities are very different from one another, but the crops of the common latitudes are much the same.
