This blog describes my adventures in Africa. In 2018, this will be my 4th trip to Africa. I traveled to Rwanda in March 2016, and Kenya and Tanzania in the Spring, 2015, and Kenya in 2010. On our journey, we'll be visiting schools, centers for people with disabilities, making friends, looking for animals and finding adventure wherever we go. Wahoo!!!!

Giraffes Have Blue Tongues and other interesting facts about animals like him....

Giraffes have blue tongues which can be up to 2 feet long.














Ostriches are surprisingly fast runners - they can run up to 43 mph.


                                         



                               Here is a real ostrich.


 Here is one that looks like Count Dracula-and looks SCARY!!!PS not really.














One of the most deadly animals in Africa is the vegetarian hippo.  Which means it only eats fruits and vegetables.  Every day, hippos eat close to 100 pounds of grass a day and their poop weighs 60 pounds, which is 4.4 pounds more than I weigh.  (My mom made a joke about a hippo pooping me out, but I think she should explain it).  Anyways, That's COOL....

    I'd LOVE to hear your Mom's explanation about the hippo poop!
    The ostrich dressed as Dracula looks pretty great. Was it hard to get him to wear that cape?
    Love, G'ma
