International Travel, Things I Love, To-Do List

As we conclude posts from this remarkable 17-day journey in Africa covering four countries, I can’t think of a better place than Giraffe Manor in Kenya’s capital city of Nairobi.

Surprised. In a word, surprised — but only in the most joyous sense. And that was the reaction to experiencing the beauty of Stockholm, the fourth destination on our Spring Trip.
