Baobab Tree

Location: Angola

Textbooks say that Baobab Tree is the oldest tree in the world. Myth tells that the unique look of Baobab Tree as if it is turned upside down (roots on top) is a curse from God. Long after Baobab is created as the first tree on earth, God then created another tree. Baobab was jealous and said to God why that other tree is more beautiful than her. God was angry and turned Baobab upside down. Fact is that Baobab can keep lots of water and therefore, it is also sometimes called source of life. This amazing tree is seen a lot in Angola. 

Elephant Posing

We were driving in Namibia and we had to stop because the car was blocked by a grumpy elephant! There was no way we could go through, we actually had to move back slowly and waited until he passed for about 45 minutes later. At some point seemed like he was posing for us... he stared and then posed in this position for several minutes and moved away again. Cute!
