Yikes! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted!
There are posts in the works but this whole adjusting-back-to-normal-school thing is a tougher exercise in time management than I thought! Boy do I wish I were back at camp outside Tarangire right now. I think I’d savor getting dressed in a 104 degree F tent…

Where the Hell is Matt? .com

lost in the fog
If you like spooky, I wish you could’ve been here tonight. I happened downstairs at about 11:00 tonight and realized it was extremely foggy outside. Like can’t see very far foggy. It was wonderful. So I went for a walk. Then I got my camera and I went for [...]

Old Australian Ways
