Flat Stanley Goes to Kenya (13): The Elephant Orphanage

January 3, 2011 By Guy St. Clair

May 27, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

So perhaps it’s time to ‘fess up. If any readers of these posts have noticed a kind of lead-up, you’re right. There has been so much to write about, and so much to see and share, and since we’re all agreed that this is the experience of a lifetime for Mr. Guy (who ordinarily doesn’t …
