water lilies, Okavango Delta
Tall grasses or small elephant? Okavango Delta
Do hippos yawn when they are embarrassed? Okavango Delta
Sunset light in the papyrus. Okavango Delta
Clearly, a Road not Taken Enough. Okavango Delta
A bottle of designer ginger ale escaped from the refrigerator on a terrible, bumpy road. The twist off cap twisted off. In a normal place, the ginger ale-soaked carpet in the bottom of the camper would be pulled out and washed immediately. In a place that gets four meters (that is: 4 meters = 157.5 inches = 13 feet) of rain a year, this is a futile pursuit. Nothing dries. Ever.
Several days later: new place. Hosed down, washed off, scrubbed carpet hanging to dry. But,wait! There’s more. It’s raining.
And raining. And raining…
Carpet is overrated. Maybe I’ll go carpet-free until winter sets in.
