A little photo essay of my trip to Kenya and Tanzania.

Here are a few pictures (of the couple thousand) I took while in East Africa.

Now, I am left to dream of the next time I will be able to wiggle my toes in the warm earth once again.

  1. Love the pic of the monkey!

    And you may want to correct your caption. Your pic is of a cacao pod containing cacao (cocoa) beans that are used to make chocolate. Coffee beans grow on trees, not in pods.
