9. We decided to go to Kenya, and see the animals in the magnificent Serengetti park.
10. When we arrived, it was spring in the Africa, and the park was just beginning

13. to them and take a lot of photograph pictures. I have now several albums of
14. photographs, and I like to take them out and look at them to remind myself
15. that dreams can become in reality. Now my wife wants to go the Far East!
