Lion and Rhino Park....

Last weekend we had soooo much fun and went to the Lion & Rhino park.  When you start saying that phrase a lot you end up saying Lino and Rhino park...it's kind of joke between the Americans here.  Anyways, I just want to say this park was the first place that I saw, here in Africa, that was absolutely beautiful.  I have only been between Johannesburg and Pretoria and a lot of what I see is red dirt...while red dirt is different....to me...it's just not as pretty as rolling green hills!  So this is just a hint of what you can see in person...if you come to visit!
