And to finish things off, here's a bunch of scenery pictures (some more interesting then others).
Near the one village, there were a lot of "fields" with rocks scattered all over them.
Follow the herd!
I think this was some sort of salt flat or...something.
It almost looks like tumbleweeds along the edge of this field, doesn't it?
Look at how red that dirt is! And look how the plants and trees next to the road are all red, too.
Who doesn't love dusty plants, right. ;)
I can't say I thought all of the scenery was stunningly gorgeous. No place will ever be as gorgeous to me as California, after all.
But there's a kind of raw, untamed beauty: miles and miles of land stretching out towards the horizon, almost untouched (or only lightly touched) by humans.
It was a relief to be away from traffic and city sounds, to smell dirt and plants and sun instead of exhaust and garbage.
Look! A lion! See it?
Just kidding. We didn't see any lions.
However, the missionaries in the village told us they sometimes hear them. (Eeek!)
Oh, to be able look all around and see nothing but the hills and the trees and the open space...
And good night, Africa. Sleep tight. Don't let the mosquitoes bite. Or the bedbugs, or the tsetse flies, or the no-see-ums, or...
