Liam: "Dad, is that you in that picture?"Me: "Yep, that's me in South Africa."
Liam: "What the heck were you doing in the middle of nowhere?"
Me: "I was looking for birds."
Liam" "But how did you get outta there?"
Me: "There was a bus about a mile away that we rode in."
Liam: "I wouldn't want to be walkin' my feet off back to that bus!"
Me: "Would you like to be there with me looking for birds?"
Liam: "For TRAINS. Yes. Birds? Nope!"
Me: "That's my boy!"
Liam: "Yep and that's my dad!"
Ohhh it's good to be home.

Birds, trains, that sounds about right.
Tell Liam there are plenty of trains in SA.
I'll email him a few photos from friends and you can pass them along to him.
Enjoy.

Thanks Ric! I took a video of a SA freight train for him. We watch it at least twice a day.
Dying to hear more about your adventures in South Africa. When you get back in your accustomed time zone, give us more!!
BOTB,
It is such fun getting to know your family through your wonderful blog. Keep the Liam and Phoebe stories coming.
You gotta take Liam to Alamogordo, NM to the Toy Train Depot. It was founded by my grandfather, a very crusty old man who loves trains.
There are some great birds and the White Sands Desert.
Being out in the middle of nowhere in South Africa looks so fun, can't wait to hear more. Did you hear Meryl Streep saying, "I had a fawm in Afwica..." in your head while you were there?
