We loved all the various elephant sightings, especially watching them play in the water.

Exciting was watching the, almost extinct, wild dogs. DR Jrand please share one if their photos.

Page five? Really?

Got up to page twenty - then watched the rest of One, Two, Three - the last twenty-five minutes is literally breathtaking in that it takes your breath away just watching it. I'd forgotten some of the brilliant lines - when Horst Buchholz stands there half-dressed in his new Count clothing tells Cagney that he's going to have the Coca-Cola workers revolt, Cagney looks at him and says, "Oh, put your pants on, Spartacus."

The only false step in the entire film, and it's not terrible, just not necessary, is the Red Buttons scene.

On our safari today we came upon the body of a several-week old baby elephant. The carnivores and carrion-eaters had not yet discovered the body. The emotion of the mother, siblings and herd was palpable. They would not leave the body and, gently, every so often, would circle the infant and place their trunks on the baby. So very emotional to witness. Africa, a wonderful, wondrous adventure!

As we drove away, until I could no longer see, the mother was stranding alone over her baby.

Oh, no. I won't tell my sister about that.

If your sister has read about elephants she is aware of their attachment to each other, especially to a baby. Being aware and seeing it up close aware very different experiences.

She definitely knows about their attachments. She watched this documentary that showed a group of elephants that came across some elephant bones (not from a recent death). The group became quiet as they walked by and they all touched the bones with their trunks, seemingly to show respect for the dead elephant, even though it probably wasn't from their herd or family.

Sad story, Jane. The elephants are very protective of their young. That’s why they charged my group.

How much did they charge you?

I am. My TV is in my bedroom, and I was watching TV, so that's why I was in bed.
