Tonight, we travel. Connie Louie and Alan Heald have these treats in store for us.
Connie in Kenya:
Kenya is a country about the size of Texas that has preserved much natural land in reserves and parks. Join me in a photo slideshow to three very best areas in the country. First, to Samburu National Reserve,
northwest of Nairobi, where the ever illusive leopards live along with large numbers of elephants
and five species that are not found anywhere else in Kenya: gerenuk gazelle, reticulated
giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, the Somali ostrich, and the oryx. Second, south of Samburu, to Lake Nakuru where there are thousands of flamingos along the lakeside with pelicans, fish eagles, rhinos, and buffalos. And lastly, the crown jewel of Kenya, to Masai Mara where cheetahs, lions, and leopards are frequently found.
Alan on the Danube:
Alan and his wife Carol, flew to Europe for a two week cruise down the Danube. They began near Prague, Czechoslovakia, and ending up in Budapest, Hungary. Images reveal the interesting scenery along the way as the ship navigated the hundreds of locks which make navigation possible. One side trip
featured a sobering trip to an infamous Nazi concentration camp, Terezenstadt, which is now maintained as a holocaust museum.

The remainder of the journey was much happier fare, as we traveled down the river through Czechoslovakia, Germany, Austria and Hungary.
