Hunting Completed

I am in Namibia, checking e-mails on a 9.6 kbps dial-up connection. No
photos by this connection. No opportunity to check the mac.com
account.

We have taken animals from A to Z, aardwolf to zebra. Elizabeth has
taken aardwolf, jackal, oryx, springbuck, duiker, and black
wildebeest. I have taken zebra, red hartebeest, blesbok, and warthog.

Tomorrow we go to a nearby village to make a donation of meat from our
hunts to one of the local boarding schools. We have a sense that if we
watch the meat go into the school's freezer, it will get to the right
place. One never knows with money donations.

Wednesday we start working our way back to Portland. We leave 7 PM
from Namibia for Frankfurt. On Thursday we leave at about 9 am for
Portland, and arrive in Portland at about 11 am after flying for 10
hours. Our internal clocks should be throughly thrashed at that point.

Congratulations on a successful hunt -- does this mean there's a new wing addition going in to the Portland home for the new mountings? I know what you mean about internal body clocks -- I'm currently in St. Petersburg, Russia (SFO -> Frankfurt -> SPB last Sunday). The most difficult thing getting used to is sunset at 11pm, and light till way past midnight! Love to all the Fitzgerald-Abbotts and safe travels home!

Peter, I sure hope you are not caught up in the Lufthansa mess now.
