Grandma Cindy's Animals

Africa is know for its animals.  In America we go to the Zoo to see these animals.  While here in Zambia and Malawi Grandma Cindy notices animals and likes to take their pictures.  Here are some of her favorite pictures so far.

On the way to Malawi we learned something about the rainy season here in Africa, it rains pigs instead of cats and dogs,  These little guys (unimproved version) were everywhere.  These were found taking a stroll down the highway base coarse while we were driving on a wet dirt road.



This bunch belong to the improved group.
They've got a little more sense to be along the side of the road to forage for food.


There are lots of goats in Malawi.  While out on a trip to look at some wells that are 18 months old we found this industrious bunch.  They had taken over this investment busines, only because it was raining.
 

 
Grandma really likes the little ones.  I think they remind her of her grand "kids".  These two were trying to play "hide and go seek".
 
 
Ox are used for transportation and hauling goods. Often they occupy the same tarmac (paved road in Africa) as bicycles, cars trucks, semi-trucks and buses
 
 
We saw these teen drivers passing by one of our Church buildings in Lilongwe, Malawi.

 
 
And some of these.
 
 
Finally Papa got to take a picture.  This is a Malawian stealth bomber attached to the rear tire of out truck.  Notice the bombs dropped on the ground waiting to explode.
