Fifteen hours is a long time to be on a plane. But Southern Africa is a long way from North America, and there’s really no other way to get there.

Namibia (纳米比亚，非洲西南部国家) is twice the size of California, but home to a little over two million people. The country’s main airport is 45 minutes outside its capital.

Late this morning, we arrived in Namibia and drove directly to a wildlife sanctuary. We will spend five days exploring the ways to protect Namibia’s wildlife and environments.

Our exploration of the wildlife sanctuary began with a walk through the place. They told us to know about the footprints of animals, and then the animals themselves. In the evening, we had a traditional South African barbeque.

Hello, Paris!

Today was the last day of our Paris trip. In the morning, we explored and photographed Paris—from Montmartre (蒙马特尔) to Versailles (凡尔赛宫) to the Eiffel Tower (埃菲尔铁塔). In the afternoon, we prepared for this evenings photo gallery show.

In the evening, our family, friends and art lovers arrived at the gallery for our big show. We couldn’t be more proud of our final work.

Then we returned to the hotel to finish packing and get a good sleep for the long journey home.
