Hello from Africa

Greetings all blog readers!

For anyone wondering, yes indeed we are well behind on the blog. I´m sure we´ll stay somewhat behind as well, but we will keep posting as we can. Most of the missing stories are partly to mostly written...

But really, most of the reason we are behind is because our days are quite full doing all the stuff we are writing about! Posts in process are... Puerto Natales, the Ferry, Bariloche, San Francisco, El Calafate, El Chalten, Ushuaia, Antarctica (POSTED BELOW!), Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Paris, and Nairobi.

We are doing great and having a fabulous time. It's amazing how much we are seeing every day. Today we are in Kampala, Uganda and tomorrow we leave for four weeks on a rhinoceros reserve. We'll be non-technical for the next bit, not great Internet speeds in rural Uganda, but we hope to post whenever we can. You can check out where we'll be on the web at http://www.rhinofund.org/ and www.theeye.co.ug/ziwa_ranch_rhinos_article.php.

Happy Holidays to everyone and Happy New Year!
Danielle and Larry

In the meantime, read the Antarctica post below and check out the penguins! Hope this video works!

This actually happened, and the video is in real time. We were just at the right place at the right time as raft (big group of penguins swimming) after raft of penguins arrived at their nesting and breeding location here for the season. It was absolutely the coolest nature thing either of us has ever seen. As one of our Antarctic guides said.....a cosmic mind blower!
