48 Pictures of Africa: Delicious Eats, Cityscapes & Water Environments in East Africa • Chick About Town

Every now and then, I share pictures of Africa with you in a post. That is what I would like to do today!

What can you expect to find in this set of pictures?

Lots of food photos, some skylines, water environments, of course, because I love hanging out near water and, unusually, quite a few photos of me.

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, sorry for the repetition: I promise I am only sharing the best of my Instagram gallery, though.

I hope you like them.

No. 4: College Residence

The other day, my friend sent me this picture because she happened to be at a place where she visited me 25 years ago for Spring Break during my freshman year at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

After this, the incline flattened out and you knew the worst was behind you.
