Old but still beautiful postcard. I've dreamt of going to safari and climbing Kilimanjaro for several years, still have time to do that :)
I would LOVE to see this in person - someday I hope. If you go, Monikucha, I am thinking I could use an updated postcard! ;-)
Brenda, no worries, I will send one to you :) But you have to wait at least 5 years for that ;)
