safari away from me...


i thought that once you get to africa there are elephants that pick up your bags and monkeys help with room reservations but that's not true at all. you have to pay a lot of money to see them.

on sunday, russ, dr doll, and our roommate ventured to akagera national park. we got to drive around in a land cruiser for 6 hours in the hot sun. we saw baboons, giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, an elephant, hippoplatymuses, bushbucks, impala, and tons of birds including a bateleur, "considered the most beautiful raptor in the whole wide world" according to me.


but we did get to see an elephant with a urinary tract infection, he just peed and peed and peed, while trapping a group of local fisherman in their houses. i think he was looking for something to cool the burning.









i failed to mention that i have hives all over my body from an allergy to cassava, regretfully. butt not as bad as my colleague.


two of the funniest animals ever invented

striped donkeys like in tijuana

Brown, on the other hand, in audemars piguet replica ceramic is a new color for Rolex. In addition to the first ever bi-colored ceramic bezel on the new GMT-Master II Day/Night, the brown colored ceramic bezel on this new rolex replica uk Cosmograph Daytona 116506 is a fresh thing for 2013. I personally think Rolex paired brown with this particular shade of blue because of Paul Newman. Now, of course, Paul Newman is an important guy for rolex replica uk because of the famed "Paul Newman Daytona." One of the most celebrated rolex replica uk Daytona models around, the Paul Newman Daytona is a sweetheart at auctions. Rather than recreate a Paul Newman rolex replica watches Daytona dial (again), Rolex replica watches paid homage to the late actor's famous blue eyes. In his youth he had brown hair, and for me the blue and brown dial mixes well with the imagery many people have when they think of Paul Newman in his earlier days. Even as an old man, Newman's face was marked by his striking blue eyes.
