Africa Pics!!

[DaYoop]

As promised, but delayed :), here are a few of the many pictures I took while on my educational adventure in Africa. The purpose of the trip was to do an agricultural and natural resource comparison with the US. While there, we visited much of the country side with stops at a few national parks where the animals roam the land, living there lives as they were intended to. The parks were established in the 1800's and have been left alone since. All that is permited is driving through on specific roads. Much of the park is off limits, leaving the wilderness just that, very wild. In addition, much of the parks boundaries are not fenced, leaving the animals as wild as possible. Here is just a sample of what can be seen in South Africa:

Well I sure hope this works, it took me forever to scan, upload, and link all of them :) Hope you all enjoy viewing them as well. Hopefully I find some more time to share a little more of my experience in Africa.
