Tuesdays – Travel & Photography

7/8 Highland Gorillas and Primates of Africa

We will get up close and personal with a family of critically endangered Highland Mountain Gorillas in the jungles of Rwanda in Volcanoes National Park.  In addition, we will learn about the Vervet Monkey, Olive Baboon, L’Hoest’s Monkey, Golden Monkey, and the Eastern Chimpanzee and how conservation efforts are beginning to work to save these fascinating creatures.

7/22 Chincoteague Pony Swim

Let’s take a trip to Assateague Island in Virginia and Maryland to see the wild ponies. 2025 is the 100th Anniversary of this unique event. For those not familiar with the ponies were brought to the New World by the Spaniards in the 1600s and they have roamed free ever since. We will visit the parks where they live and learn about the Chincoteague pony swim.
