I have been participating in these challenges for a couple of months It gives me an opportunity to dig into my rather large snapshot archive and share a few images to the weekly theme related to a letter of the alphabet.

Last week's theme was WeekYforYonder. Following are some of the snaps I shared.

Victoria Street Market

The First stop on our city tour of Durban yesterday was at the historic Victoria Market. We spent about an hour browsing the African items and souvenirs available for purchase at the various stores. As we are known for exercising restraint in spending we only purchased one fridge magnet and one casual hat.

I enjoyed seeing all the bright and colorful African goods and gave my camera quite a work out taking upclose shots.

Lemuria Land

 Warning - Lots of Cuteness in this post.

The Lemurs we saw wandering free at Lemuria Land in Nosy Be, Madagascar on Tuesday captured our hearts. We saw several species frolicking freely in a natural habitat.
