Life What I did on my summer vacation. - Page 10

**Rain Man** · 07-09-2008, 05:13 PM

So for those of you who don't ever look at me, I wandered away for a while. A sample of vacation photos will follow.

A pack of African Wild Dogs, which are apparently not commonly seen. These guys saw us and ran, but they ran down the road instead of into the forest. Then we caught up to them and they ran again, down the road again. Then it happened again, and that time they were just like, "Screw it," and laid down.

There were elephants all over the place at the big park. We probably saw close to 100 either up close or at a distance. Here are a couple that were hanging out near the road.

We went from there to St. Lucia, which is a large waterway that connects to the ocean.

I liked this picture, because I took it of the bird, but then you can see a large antelope on the shore.

**Rain Man** · 07-10-2008, 08:51 PM

Swimming is not recommended at St. Lucia.

**Skip Towne** · 07-10-2008, 08:52 PM

Is that bird an Ibis?

**Rain Man** · 07-10-2008, 08:56 PM

Seriously, don't swim there.

I think the guide said it's something like a Goliath egret or Goliath ibis or something. I remember the Goliath part, because she said it was the largest subspecies of its type.

**Rain Man** · 07-10-2008, 09:09 PM

In fact, don't even take a small boat there.

**Rain Man** · 07-10-2008, 09:12 PM

(Yawn.)

**Skip Towne** · 07-10-2008, 09:16 PM

Great trip!! Did you get to see any ancient ruins or anything like that?

**Rain Man** · 07-10-2008, 09:17 PM

Wait. This might be the Goliath bird.

Not ancient ones, but the next part of the trip was to Madagascar, so I got to go to Antananarivo and see modern ruins. Those pictures are coming up.

**Rain Man** · 07-10-2008, 09:23 PM

Needs some cropping, but I like this bird picture.

**DaFace** · 07-10-2008, 09:46 PM

So should we plan for three hours of pictures at the next staff meeting?
