Hey Joey,
I found a bracelet near the high school, which might be of sentimental value to someone.  It’s an Alex and Ani bracelet with one big medallion- owner can email me to identify.

As announced at the recent Rockport American Legion meeting, Angela Cook
of Oasis Rockport has begun the Cape Ann Veterans Project. She will be
putting together a book detailing the stories of our local veterans,
scheduled for release on Veterans Day. A percentage of the proceeds from
the book will be donated to the American Legion. Angela is putting a
call out to our local veterans to get in touch so that you can schedule
an interview. She can be reached by calling 978-290-3182 or emailing
acook@oasisrockport.com . All veterans from Cape Ann, even those who now
live elsewhere, are invited to participate in this project.

This second installment features our first game drive in open vehicles in Chobe  National Park, a few miles over bumpy trails from our camp. Elephants, magnificent scenery and the roar of a nearby lion  at dusk (which sent us scurrying back to our vehicles) are some of the highlights of that day.

Clouds just after the tornado warnings were over.

Barbara and I recently returned from a 17-day visit to Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was an adventure that we will always remember.

As you might have guessed, I took a few (thousand) photos and video clips. Rather than share them all with you (although I know you would love that), I thought it best to post several short composite still and movie videos on YouTube intermittently over several days.

Video is a medium I am just beginning to learn, so please bear with me as I aspire to reach the very high standards of GMG’s Craig Kimberly and Kim Smith.

Here is the first effort featuring our arrival in Johannesburg and a cruise on the Chobe River in Botswana.

The tour was booked through Boston based Overseas Adventure Travel. We stayed in tented camps and rustic lodges and were transported from place to place by open vehicle, bus, light planes and small boats.

Soundtrack music is by Ingonyama whom we were lucky enough to see and hear around a campfire in Zimbabwe.
