Africa Again

Well, headed off to Africa for a while -- this time I have to bring back a carved lion for Anne, a carved elephant for Henrietta and carved meat for me (actually, I'll be eating that while in Africa - the TSA dudes frown on cooked meat, 4 oz. or more of hair gel and belt buckles). But probably the most surprising thing about sub-Saharan Africa (I've been to South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Kenya and Tanzania already, and will go this time to South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana) is how great the soup is!! Pumpkin soup, carrot soup, tomato soup -- any kind of vegetable soup -- it's amazing -- the best soup I've ever had anywhere. In fact, my favorite meal in Africa is tomato soup, an orange Fanta and a cup of coffee. Who knew??? Anyway, if you ever get the chance, take a safari in Africa -- it's better than you can imagine. Jambo!
