Don't ever take it for granted.<br /><br />Growing up I lived two and a half hours from Yellowstone National Park, which is a huge tourist destination. We used to go up there all the time, to camp and fish and hike, or even on simple day trips for a long drive. I never really thought much about it until I was in high school and working at a hotel. I talked with tourists from all over the world who would comment on how lucky I was to live so close to Yellowstone. "I guess," I'd shrug. They often claimed that if they lived so close they'd be there all the time. It wasn't true, of course, as we all tend to take our surroundings for granted, but it opened my eyes to the wonders around me. There were people who spent tens of thousands of dollars to travel to my corner of the world to get a glimpse of something I could see whenever I wanted. I was indeed a very fortunate person.<br /><br />As are you in that spectacular land. Where I live we have bears and cougars and eagles, but you get to see elephants and lions and jaguars and zebras! Remarkable!<br /><br />I love these kind of posts because not only do I get to experience something new and wonderful, and add another thing to do to my bucket list, but I learn something precious about you, that your eyes are open to the world, that you see the magic there, that your heart takes nothing for granted.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />CurtCurt Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092702507137136310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-81120530089482958722011-09-22T16:48:10.234+02:002011-09-22T16:48:10.234+02:00Hi Maxmom - wow, I would have never thought I'...Hi Maxmom - wow, I would have never thought I'd see all those animals. You definitely have a beautiful country. I'm going to send a link to this post to a friend who is from South Africa. I think that she'll appreciate some photos from "home".

Life has been so hectic that I've fallen out of touch with you. I love your tour. It makes me want to visit S.A., sooner rather than later. Your wildlife and scenery are jaw-droppingly amazing. <br /><br />I hope that you're doing well, and I'm thrilled to see that your book is out!!!!

They are so cute! <br /><br />It is all talk of South Africa and Namibia today as the RWC clash of the African nations is tonight. The game is at North Harbour stadium (purposely picked as many South Africans live nearby on the North Shore of Auckland). According to the radio the SA Shop up that way has done double the amount of sales of SA food, flags, etc this week. It should be a great atmoshpere at the game tonight! <br /><br />Woofs,<br />Riley (and his mum)The Life of Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042517508689233894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-43612955170145734262011-09-21T23:26:42.333+02:002011-09-21T23:26:42.333+02:00Hi Toby, thanks for all the photos.
