In case you haven&#8217;t figured out where I went, here is a hint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lB7-5_FiZeU?si=XC2oU0tidnMgAZy_\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While it isn&#8217;t the original by Toto, something about all those fresh faced Irish kids singing in Gaelige just warms my heart. And yes, as I can attest, it does rain in Africa. It also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ljsafaris\/videos\/1499546457347424\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">snows<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yes, I went to Africa. Specifically, I went to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eastern_Cape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eastern Cape province of South Africa<\/a><\/strong> to hunt with my brother-in-law Larry. I plan to have a number of posts about our experiences hunting, the people we met, our wonderful hosts Juan (pronouced Ju-On) and Lauren Stander of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ljhuntingsafaris.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LJ Hunting Safaris<\/a><\/strong>, and the things we saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lauren has put up a series of posts about our time in the Eastern Cape on their <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ljsafaris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook <\/a><\/strong>page. Here is a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ljsafaris\/posts\/pfbid0sLLh8uHxLYzHhYsz5K2SmfQ55xtBAHkf89SMhutj7q6YcLoqbEjiUs6rxnuLZmkMl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link <\/a><\/strong>to the first one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in what I consider a closing of the circle, Jono McHugh of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/huntingafrica.podbean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Round The Fire With Kingsview Safaris podcast<\/a><\/strong> relates how he happened to move to America and how he is now referring client inquiries to Juan and Lauren. I had reached out to Jono a year ago when I finally made up my mind to go on safari and he was the one who put me in touch with Juan. It was fitting that I listened to this podcast on my last leg of the journey home from Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"Episode 38: I am back &#038; a lot has changed!\" allowtransparency=\"true\" height=\"300\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);height:300px;\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?from=embed&#038;i=rr7um-16351f5-pb&#038;square=1&#038;share=1&#038;download=1&#038;fonts=Arial&#038;skin=1b1b1b&#038;font-color=auto&#038;rtl=0&#038;logo_link=episode_page&#038;btn-skin=956f46&#038;size=300\" loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I said in my last post, I was planning to be heading out of town.
