This is from our Zambezi River cruise, our final dinner in Victoria Falls. It was really great to be out on the water. The temperature was wonderful compared to all the heat that we had experienced. We had plenty of room. The staff was festive. It was a great final event for our trip.

This is just a photo of Vicky and Cory, but you might notice that an elephant “photo bombed” me. The elephant is just to the left of Vicky by the edge of the water.

Here’s a better photo of Vicky and me – and not right after I took a drink of my triple-shot gin and tonic.

This is Cory at the start of an elephant parade into the Zambezi River. I will tell more about this in the next post.

This is the dinner table. We were served a wonderful meal with wine and we reminisced about our safari trip together.

Towards the end of our meal, someone in the group asked Cory to share her thoughts on what it was like for a young person to travel with an otherwise entirely – not so young group.

Cory gave us several lists of interesting memories including “references” and “quotes” from the group.

I’ll just mention a few of Cory’s reference highlights:

1. Hearing things like “Lion at Three O’clock” and trying to determine which direction to look.

2. Hearing references to Bob Dylan, Roy Rogers, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Woodie Guthrie, and Paul Simon.

3. Realizing that we didn’t know who the Kardashians were but that we knew all about Medicare.

4. Than no one took a selfie or even had a selfie stick.

5. That people referred to photo opportunities as “Kodak Moments”.

6. That she was the only person who ever referred to Beyoncé.

Sunup’s and Sundown’s in southern Africa were tremendous. We didn’t have a bad one the whole trip.
