Back To Ombabika

Even after 72,000 miles, this one place eluded me. This is the story of how we fixed that.

 

Since you were kind enough to visit my blog for this post, I’ll give you a bit of director’s commentary.

I was recording in my RV (that’s another story) and couldn’t run any AC or fans due to wanting a clean audio signal. It was a 90 degree day, so quite a struggle. 🙂

My hope is that getting this video published will unblock me to get the rest of the trip story completed. It should just be two more posts and we’ll return back to the old text/image/gif format for those. Videos take so much time!

If you’re still here, thanks so much for sticking around!
