Before leaving Africa, Caitlin and I took an amazing
adventure to Kenya through the Masai Mara. I never felt so in awe by everything
I saw from the animals to the landscape. It was absolutely breathtaking. I feel
so grateful to have gotten this experience. I am truly lucky. Our safari group
was so great, our guide was amazing, and the people in the Mara were warm-hearted
and welcoming. Afterwards, we spent a day in Nairobi before taking a very long
flight back to NYC. I’ve now been home for a few days. It has been a hard
adjustment but I am slowly getting back into the rhythm of city life.

Stella, this is amazing! I'm glad you updated on your trip to Africa. I love that last picture of the giraffe!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos! I am sighing for Africa now. It is so beautiful and I'm glad you got home safe, with great mementos, having learned so much.
