Day 10, The Great Serengeti National Park
March 20, 2009, Friday
During the previous day, Toti and our group had expressed ideas to take a trip to the Serengeti National Park. We were staying a long time in the Sasaskwa Lodge and wanted to see more animals. We talked with the chef for our lunch box assortment. (Please understand, you are speaking a different food language here. If you can, try to let the chef fix your own lunch boxes. You might only want to eat the hard boiled eggs if they are available. They just eat food really different from Americans. A ham sandwich in the United States of America is NOT A HAM SANDWICH IN AFRICA. Bring your own mayonnaise, (not close in Africa!), ketchup, and salsa,(they do not know what that is!) with you! Lots!!!
We did not see a lot in the Park. There was sort of a mini migration, but not to notice much. I read a whole book most of the bouncing way. They road is too rough to sleep. Mostly there is nothing to see. Beware! It was a very long trip we will never make again, unless we are in a moving safari in the middle of the migration.
Nicole slept the most part of the trip. When we returned to the lodge, she went directly to bed. Steve and I went to our room to freshened up. We were originally set to eat outside along the big dining room. It was way too cold for us, so we were moved into the grand dining room!
The surprise of our life came by being the only ones present in the huge formal dining room, with full dress Sterling Silver candlesticks, gracious Asian rugs, huge oil paintings, big white cloth table cloths, and great IPod music! We had a wonderful time. I can fox trot!

Nice blog, just looking around some blogs, appears a fairly good platform you’re using. I am presently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to alter one of them over to a platform similar to yours like a trial run. Anything in specific you’d recommend about it?
Hi! I am using Wordpress too.
