Beware! The last one is a long-form meditation on the sunset and features my music. It may not be your cup of tea! ;-)

Your photos are so beautiful, especially the one of the mountain behind the bridge.

No videos of the lodge dogs? Always have been a cat person but there I really enjoyed having the gang accompany me on my daily walks. (Lots of excitement when they ceased being good doggies and started chasing the chickens that lived in the house by the bridge.)

Hey silvanocat,

The lodge dogs pretty much stuck to the lodge area during my stay. Unfortunately, Angel has passed on passing on the as same week Tito. They think she may have drank some anti-freeze. I was very sad to not find mama Angel waiting for me at the airport.

The week before I arrived Horus had been in a bad fight with a village hound and was recuperating . Without Horus to lead the pack to the beach, Sandy and Max stayed with him.

The good news is Horus was starting to feel much better by the time I left, so I'll wager he's chasing birds and digging for crabs on the beach as I write this.

That's so sad. When I would go to one of the villages the other dogs would get distracted or be run off by the village dogs but not Angel. She was the one who would stay with me. I was just looking at some photos that I have of her enjoying the national park beach.

Sad too about Tito. Hope Marge is doing well.
