Of the four Kenyan national parks I visited in May 2022 Amboseli was the national park I was looking forward to most. That is because I backed out of an eight-day trek to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro at the last minute after coming down with a mild case of Covid in April. Covid interrupted…

With working hours that traditionally aligned to the hours of daylight, the time available for pastimes and sports was, at best, limited to the Breton peasants of days gone by.

Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Vokes started out in school theatricals, and from thence to Broadway, where by 1903 she was in A Fool and His Money with Arnold Daly. She seems not to […]…
