As you can see from the photos we are having a wonderful and educational trip.  Since Cape Town, we have traveled to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and Chobe Game Park in Botswana.  We have seen and experienced so much.  There have been two people killed by elephants in the last few days at Victoria Falls.  They were horrible incidents, but I think are becoming more common.  The first fellow that was killed was in the bush, praying with his brother, when an elephant attacked and killed him.  The second occurred at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge where we had been staying.  See photo of watering hole. 

Chobe Game Park has over 45,000 elephants in over 11,000 square miles.  They are everywhere.  I was here 23 years ago and things have really changed.  The absence of trees do to the destructive behavior of the elephants has reduced the number of leopards so significantly that we never saw one.  We did see some magnificent lions, but they are quiet rare at Chobe. 

Upon our return to Zimbabwe (for one night), we visited with all of our friends that we do business with and Brad and Ben thought they were great guys and have already exchanged email addresses.  Last week we did have a wonderful pizza party at one of our friend's houses.  It was a blast and Ben and Brad got to see how tough living conditions are in this part of the world. 

We are on the way to Harare this afternoon where we will visit many of our sculpture friends for a few days.  After that we will back to the U.S. on the 15th of June.  We hope all of you are doing well and we look forward to seeing you soon.
