Going to Africa

My Dad is a photographer so he goes all over the world and takes pictures. For fifteen years, he went to Africa, most of the time by himself. But when I was 11, my dad took me and my mom, Reba, to Rwanda. My dad took pictures and I studied with Rwandan students. We became good friends, and when we weren't studying, we found amazing worms, birds and other animals.

Back to Africa...

I went back to Africa when I was 22. My mother and my father took me and my brother, Eli, with them to Gabon. For six months, we camped in the grass near beautiful trees and palms. In the day ,my father and I took pictures, and ELi studied on the beach with mom. At night, we slept in our camp, and the animals came near us.

My dad says Africa with his family was amazing. I think so, too.
