I had a cubicle with no windows but I attached many pictures of wild life and wild areas on the walls – nothing like a window though. Once I saw giraffes peering at me through a car window while in Indonesia and I still remember it vividly so it must be such a great feeling to know they are close to you all the time and free. Reading your post brings such great images to the mind it’s a virtual travel trip.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968469327864068813.post-25218131618266803492009-10-10T14:43:03.604+02:002009-10-10T14:43:03.604+02:00Congratulations on your promotion!

Are they just taking it all in, or penetrating the surroundings with their sense of sight? What are giraffes like? Can you explain?<br /><br />Thank you!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968469327864068813.post-80665404794172437632009-10-04T03:05:42.375+02:002009-10-04T03:05:42.375+02:00Hi Val,

Such an opening line is just unmatchable! Next week I am invited to speak at the local kindergarten and tell them about Africa. I think I`ll borrow that line from you! Let`s hope they`ll soon find fresh grass.
