I hope you like them.

Wooden giraffes at the craft store/gift shop at the wonderful Ndere Cultural Centre in Kampala, Uganda. Did you know that the collective noun for giraffes is actually ‘tower’? In other words, a group of giraffes is more accurately called a ‘tower of giraffes’. Aptly named, no? Now you know!

No. 4: College Residence
The other day, my friend sent me this picture because she happened to be at a place where she visited me 25 years ago for Spring Break during my freshman year at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
This hall, McConnell Hall, is adjacent to the one I lived in, Molson Hall (

After this, the incline flattened out and you knew the worst was behind you.
