The tree of life

This is a baobab (pr: "Bow" as in bow to your partner - "Bob"). This is variously known as the upside-down tree and the tree of life. These things can be over 1000 years old. They are amazing.

In May, 2001, my mother and I went on safari to Tanzania. Here are the pictures and stories.
