To Tarangire NP, Tuesday March 3

Waffles for breakfast

Drove to Arusha. Stop by Precision Air to pay for tickets to Nairobi. They only wanted
to take cash. I could get to enough without getting into my suitcase.

Robin changed some money. Tried to buy some sunglasses, but they wanted too much. Many
vendors stopped by to sell us stuff.

Went to Dorobo compound. It is across a field from The Peace House.

Drove out to Tarangire National park. Saw elephants on the way in. Had a buffet lunch.
Then went to our tents to rest. Back out looking at 4 PM.

Saw a small antelope called a Dik Dik, love birds, grouse, vulture, lavender bird, ostrich,
and more elephants.

We drove about 115 miles. Daily photo count was about 700.

Joe,
It is good to see you guys are having a memorable time. It is -7 degrees this morning so you know what you are missing up here. We had a snow storm come through on Tuesday but is turned out to be mostly rain and only a couple of inches of snow in the metro.
Later,
Rich

Joel,

Good to see some of those 100s of photos. Of course we look forward still more to seeing the four of you.
