Saturday catching up

Somehow or other I never got around to posting about our special dinner last week, the one involving animals.

Carolyn suggested we eat dinner at Disney’s Animal Kingdom at the buffet place…and it was outstanding!  We tried many different African dishes, and totally stuffed ourselves.

Unfortunately, we got there a bit late, so we didn’t have good animal viewing, but we saw quite a few of P1010086these Eland antelopes, and the flamingos .  All the rooms face out onto the area where the animals roam around.  We also saw 3 giraffe, but they were too far away to photograph in the waning light.

P1010092 

And the ceiling inside the beautiful hotel lobby (sorry for the dim lighting):

P1010102

Here is a display case of a few African baubles:

P1010104

It was a great evening, and worth another visit there some day.

Thought for the day:  Whatever doesn't kill you, really does make you stronger.

Have a fabulous Saturday, y’all!

I'm not much of a fan of Disney but from what I've heard, the restaurants there are pretty cool.

Exactly what are some of the African dishes? I'm not familiar with African cooking at all so I'm quite curious.
