Nigeria, May 16 - May 22, 2010

Isik traveled to Lagos, Nigeria for work.  Here he needed a constant companion because of the kidnapping dangers.  He didn't do any touristy things, but got to see the City for what it is.

The many faces of Austin

Being a teenager is difficult, so is being a parent of a teenager... I'm not sure which is harder.  Actually, being a teenager is harder.  I love the many faces of my teenager!

Family

I love my crazy, goofy, silly, family!

South Africa

 Isik went to South Africa for work, April 5 - April 11, 2010.  He was able to do some touristy things while there.  I always encourage him to see as much as he can even though we can't do it together.  I live vicariously through his travels.

Yes, those are baby lion cubs.  They loved to play!

Getting chased by wild boar is not like a fun game of tag.
