The year is over, and boy was it a good year. We traveled to Barbados, Peru, Qatar, and Tanzania for our second Safari. We stayed in Arusha prior to going to Singita Sasakwa Lodge for the Safari which even included a Hot Air Balloon ride over the Serengeti! I took over 9,500 pictures this year and that's after deleting the bad and blurry images. Looking forward to 2020.
