What more can I say—being with the family, stuffing myself silly with Thanksgiving day comfort foods, sleeping in my HOME, seeing my friends—these past few days have spoiled me rotten. As I contemplate leaving tomorrow for the Columbia Zoo in South Carolina, I have to admit that its going to be a long three weeks out on the road again before Christmas, after having been back home for FIVE DAYS (give or take). Considering I have only been home for three other days since the beginning of this trip, this Thanksgiving break in Tucson was much appreciated. Tomorrow its off to Greenville, South Carolina via Chicago, then I will drive to Columbia on the morning of the 27th to catch the hippos in action there. Until then...

About Me
- Sarah Louise Galbraith
- Joined at the Hippo is an around-the-world travelogue created by Sarah Louise Galbraith, a photographer from Arizona. Sarah traveled on her own to 33 countries across the world from January 2004 - January 2005 photographing as many hippos in zoos as possible. What for? The photos are being hand-painted onto porcelain dinner service by Royal Copenhagen Porcelain. Juggling a strict itinerary (every four days was a new city ), she hassled taxi drivers, struggled with languages (what's hippo in Mandarin??), quizzed locals and bribed zoo keepers through 101 of the world's best and worst zoos. Her encounters ranged from frightening (hippo attacks in Kyoto and muggings in Warsaw ), to hilarious (meeting with hippo fanatics at the annual Hippolotofus Convention in Seattle). Sarah now works at National Geographic in Washington, D.C.
