Scott and I are still making calls trying to find it, but I feel less optimistic every day. The last time I know I had it was at O'Hare, and one can only imagine how many things get lost there daily.
The fall-back solution is to rely on the photos of my many cohorts at Modisa and the handful of photos I was able to email to Scott while I was there--something that was very difficult to do, because of the extraordinary demands on the weak WiFi signal in the midst of the Kalahari. It will take me some time to collect these, so for now I will post a photo of Sirga, the super star of Modisa.
She is an 18-month old lioness who was raised from just a few days old by Val Gruener, one of the founders of Modisa. She is astoundingly fond of him and plays and wrestles with him as affectionately as the sweetest housecat. But Val has achieved something uniquely amazing with her. She hunts just like a wild cat, strolling along with Val until she gets a whiff of prey and then sprints after it. She has been successful in her hunts on several occasions, but seeing her come back to Val after the chase--completely of her own volition--is a wonderful sight.
There were lots of wonderful sights, and I hope to be able to post many of them, just as soon as my iPad comes home!

Ahhhhh so unbelievably sorry that you lost your ipad and the pix......good thing you have all the memories to share... and the art that I am sure is to follow.....
ReplyDeleteI hope your Ipad finds it's way home. If not we will have to rely on your story telling ability. I know you will give us a detailed accounting of your trip. ;)
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to make a trip into O'Hara to turn it upside down looking for your ipad!
ReplyDeleteJust say the word and give me an idea where you were between flights.

Will keep a good thought for your iPads return. Call the cops if someone demands 50 bucks ransom.
