Dik-diks done

elephantI finished reading Marie's book about traveling in Africa and I enjoyed it so much I wished it would go on a little longer. She writes very well and the book is about more than exploring African countries. It is about going through the world alone versus being with others, a struggle that many single people will recognize.

She called the book Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik although the dik-dik, a small antelope, stalked her. Near the end she was allowed to hold a pet dik-dik, so I guess she forgave the species for frightening her when she was camping in lion territory.
I hope someone will review the book soon on Amazon because Marie will probably feel embarrassed if her Mom writes the first review.
