Hard to believe sometimes! An excerpt from the South African 'Saldanha Ride' story- The course wound around the bay - a lovely cove with rocky outcrops, sand shallows at low tide, Southern Right Whales spouting and rolling in the water, dolphins, gulls, cormorands, other shore birds that looked just a little different to me. We crossed several flat or rolling sections of flower covered land - big granite outcrops, smooth gray and white stones thrust in every direction, piled on top of each other. and the flowers were incredible. The whole ride takes place in a Nature Conservation area. Preserving the flora - the special coastal plants and wildflowers, the kudu (large african game animal), the tortoises, the whales, - plus a variety of other mammals. Very wild and natural habitat.

Dear Diary: Summer is flying by. August 26
August 26
My good friend Christoph Schork is in Namibia this week, for the Walvis Bay Endurance Ride, brings back memories...
In 2006 I spent a couple weeks in Africa - going to this ride, which was the African Endurance Championship, and also the Saldana ride in South Africa. It was a fantastic trip including riding through a game reserve and being chased by a white rhino. (fast horses). Christoph's adventures are going to be equally wonderful, and it's been fun for me going back through my stories and photos and 'being there' again.

To Diary, The summer is going by so fast. It seems like I was savoring long, lazy days only yesterday, yet August is almost over. Time is evaporating from my grasp. Already the 26th? I should take use of the remaining time before fall arrives.Thanks , I’ve recently been searching for information about this and yours is the perfect.
