So, who am I?  I guess I am like my favorite demitasse.  I'm loud, colorful, shiny, perhaps a little gaudy and a tad damaged :-)

I spy with my little eye, vervet monkeys.

These little guys were visiting the tent next to ours.  (When we checked in, the manager told us to lock the tent because the monkeys can unzip the tents.)

For Francesca

I couldn't resist!  Hope you are having a wonderful vacation yourself!

Back from safari in Africa

I had a wonderful time in Kenya.  I highly recommend going on safari there - wonderful country!  I won't bore you with a play by play, but here's the trip in a nutshell: saw every animal on my list and more, got kissed by a giraffe, slept with monkeys and hippos, irritated a cheetah, got stuck in mud (more than once), ate some stuff did not recognize, almost arrested for taking pictures of political stuff, tribal serenades, machine guns & uzies, saw a Grevy Zebra (<2000 left on earth!), got totally spoiled at the camps.

Here are a few of the 1400 photos I took...

As much as I love to travel, I must agree with Dorothy, "There's no place like home."  Below is a photo of one of my favorite areas of my home. I call it my reading nook.  The dated, but very comfortable, chair and ottoman were thrift store finds - $15 for the pair.  The little chest, which is the perfect height for a cup of tea while in the chair, was free.  (I picked it out of my neighbor's trash and re-did it.) 

Now, I need to go sit in it and read - book club meeting is this Friday and I still have 200 pages to go.  Oops!

I am going on vacation and will miss the next two Corner Views.  I'd like to wish the American-corner-viewers a happy Thanksgiving and everyone else a happy November 24th!

I spy with my little eye reading material, a suitcase, a (plane) ticket and umpteen medicines needed for a trip to a far off place.

I am doing several this week as I am going on vacation and won't be able to "I spy" for the next few weeks.  I am going on safari in Kenya.  I've been planning this trip for a year and a half.  Can't believe it's almost here!
