Well our trip to the Rhino Sanctuary and the village of Serowe was a nice little getaway. the drive was about 3 1/2 hours to the Lentswe Lodge where we stayed.. We had a chalet with a beautiful view of the village below. Some of the highlights of the trip were seeing the cows wander below and the sky at night from our patio(which was totally unsafe for the twins). You could see every star in the sky.. The lodge was great, an adventure for the twins.. there were huge dropoffs around every turn, and a pool that kept calling jude's name. But special thanks to the people who took care of us over the weekend.... Prince, Tendai, Crispin and Jeffrey. the pizzas were great, they had cold Windhoeks, and let the kids get their own drinks from behind the bar, which was huge. The owners were very kind and friendly as well, in fact , they invited us to their pig farm for a braai today, probably was going to be way to much for our crew to handle, the twins were too tired to do anything this morning.. One side note, for my mom... the woman(Nora) was from Ireland, and her sister lived in Roscommon.. Pretty cool eh?

we checked out the rhino reserve and saw plenty of rhino, believe it or not. as well as a slew of wildebeast, giraffe, antelope, birds galore and had a wonderful lunch at the restaurant. they had no buns, no lettuce, no chicken, and were out of a couple other things as well. But jude turned on that charm of his and had the women swooning all over him. What a guy!

atttached are a few pics... one is of the view from our chalet of Serowe, some rhino, a church in serowe, the sunset in serowe, and jude with a bucket on his head... oh yeah, a picture of a bug that hangs out by our pool. there are many of them.. they're huge, about the size of the palm of my hand. When they fly, it sounds like a 747 landing

We're taking it easy for the rest of the day. Michelle and I are celebrating our 12th anniversary today. Probably will end up falling asleep with my head on the table playing a game of scrabble with Kate. I can't believe it's been 12 years.. I just keep looking younger as the years begin to pile up...
