On our second day in Berlin, we navigated snow and explored significant sites, including the East Side Gallery, which features themed art from various artists. Then we visited two Christmas markets, first in Spandau, which disappointed with limited non-food stalls, and another near the Berlin Cathedral, offering more variety and festive decorations.

Andrea Camps in the Diverse Serengeti of Tanzania
As I mentioned in the previous post, I don’t always pay attention to the small details of each trip I go on. For this trip I knew there would be some camping. However, I wasn’t exactly aware that we would be camping for four nights in a row, two in the middle of the Serengeti. I was quite excited to see the animals but not excited for cold showers, shared washrooms, and the possibility of wild animals lingering around the…

Trekking to See Amazing Chimps and Gorillas in Uganda
Gorilla trekking had not been something that was on my bucket list. However, as I was browsing the list of available trips for this summer, going back to Africa and seeing animals was definitely something I wanted to do. Of course once I saw the gorilla trekking tour in Uganda, I quickly signed up. I must admit when I sign up for these trips, I do a quick look at the itinerary and see if it looks good. I sign…

A Wildlife Sanctuary and a Beach Resort in Liberia
While I didn’t go to Liberia to see the tourist attractions, Isaac scheduled Saturday as a day of recreation. I really had no thoughts about what we would do other than I wanted to see a beach. Since Glenn and Wendy Lorenz were also there, Glenn had a thought. Coming from the airport he said he had seen a sign about a chimpanzee place. With that as a goal we headed out from our hotel. Since Isaac and his son…

An Unexpected Hike in Great Basin National Park
Tuesday was a travel day for us. Having spent a day in Capitol Reef National Park, it was time to move on. Our next and final stop was Great Basin National Park in Nevada. The drive there was over three hours long. I figured we would be tired when we arrived in Nevada so I didn’t plan any activity for the day. The drive indeed was long. There were no real places of interest requiring a stop so we drove…
