I wonder what ever happened to her, she was only a rag doll so maybe she fell to pieces, I just don't remember. I am surprised I don't know as she never left my side for very long. Time dims the memory I guess. <br />A beautiful country, but I am not sure you could travel around today as easily as we did that long ago. <br /><br />Hope you have a good week.

Absolutely fascinating and whereas I was a little girl always reading about faraway places such as these, here you were travelling to them in such style.<br /><br />The photographs perfectly illustrate the times, and your parents were a very remarkable and adventurous couple. As were you, with your choice of Africa when asked. Love it :)<br /><br />I feel I was right there with you and Topsy as I read.
