Their Land Rover got stuck in a hole


And their Land Rover got stuck and they had to get out and help. Oh my goodness. And not stuck in the mud because the Masai Mara where he is staying is in a very serious drought -- I guess the truck got stuck in one of the holes that were caused by the ground cracking from the drought.

This is a little too close for my comfort


This photo shows how close his Land Rover got to a lion on the prey. That is much too close for my comfort. But I do enjoy the photo.

The Hippo family living beneath Luis's tent in Kenya


He said he could hear the most incredible noises in the night. In particular this large family of hippos was making a lot of noise immediately beneath his tent.

Tent where Luis is staying in Kenya


Here is a photo of the tent where Luis is staying in Kenya. He said he has a family of hippos living below his tent on the river. He can hear their breathing and noises so loud, it feels they are just outside his tent. He said they are as close as the pool in our building is from the gym on the 4th floor.


Photos from Kenya




Luis is on a business trip (right) in beautiful Kenya. Here are a few of the first photos I am getting from him. Looks amazing.

Photos from Houston


A very beautiful Callie and Samuel (and I'm not prejudiced at all)

La Boca




La Boca is one of the original settlements and the oldest part of the city of Buenos Aires. It is near the port, and now is mostly a tourist area, with colorful store fronts. There is extreme poverty in this area and we understand that it is not a safe place to go at night. We did not stay long -- just long enough to snap a few photos. This was one of those rare times when the photos were better than actually being there.

Friends and Family in Buenos Aires




These photos were taken on a beautiful Sunday afternoon -- we were at Puerto Madero which is the port area of town that has been undergoing a huge renovation over the past few years. It is now a very popular tourist part of town.

A Trip to the Buenos Aires Zoo




Last Saturday, we took Lauti to the Buenos Aires Zoo. It was a gorgeous day, and we had a really nice time. Here are a few of my favorite photos.

Lauti's 9th Birthday




We are in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and we went to Lautaro's 9th Birthday Party today. We all had a great time. He had at least 30 friends -- the facility was a great place for a child's party. It was very nice, and we are so happy to be able to be here for his birthday. Here are just a few photos from the happy event.

Flying over Fort Lauderdale Int'l Airport at 2,500 feet



This is the view while flying directly overhead of the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport at 2,500 feet. It was awesome.

The View from Aventura looking south towards Miami


We were flying at about 1,000 feet over the shore while flying south. This beautiful view is from Aventura looking south towards South Beach and Miami.

Florida is so Beautiful




What a gorgeous day of flying today. We flew to Marathon Key for lunch -- we had the most delicious lobster sandwich and crab cakes. The weather was spectacular and it has just now begun to marginally cool off and is now really comfortable to fly and not melt from the heat. Here are just a few of the great photos from today's flight.

Great Friends from Argentina




Luis had friends visiting from Buenos Aires yesterday. We had this day planned for quite some time. Miguel and Any met us at the airport and we flew them to one of our favorite places -- the Airport Tiki in Port St. Lucie for lunch. Then back home for lots of shopping, a little sight seeing, and some great pizza. It was a very special day with lots of quality time, and even though we couldn't understand each other without Luis interpreting, it was still a great day.
