mom and me camping 2012
elephant
baobab
turtle
new year
sunset
I thought I would give you guys a little taste of our family camping trip to Botswana. We visited the Makgadikgadi national park and spent new years with friends on the salt pans (plenty more photos of my flickr). 

My brother leaves today, he is embarking on an epic trip across the states which will end in San Francisco. He plans on settling in the Bay Area for a while. It's excited to have family near. 
I'm sad he is leaving, it means this trip is coming to an end. I wish I could freeze time.
