Ali, these are AMAZING pictures and stories I'm sure you'll cherish them for the rest of your life! My husband is way jealous - he went on an African safari in Kenya while he was in college, but he never got to walk with lions and take his picture with one (Or ride on an elephant and give it a kiss, for that matter...)
Looks like you and your HoJ are having an awesome time
Wow, those are some truly incredible pictures! I'm glad you're able to keep us posted on your adventure. I had originally thought we wouldn't hear from you for months, and that thought made me sad.
