Hi Guys, Had a great day in Spain today. Went to the towns of Avilla and Segovia. Old Roman Catholic Churches and Convents with a lot of interesting history. We seen the aquaducts, Alcazar which is the castle that the Disney castle was designed after, and a cathedral. it was very interesting. We took soooo many pictures today. The quaint towns and countryside it was great. Went to the Plaza Mayor and had dinner at a great outdoor cafe. Wandered the shops and made friends with a local artist. Bought some artistic masterpieces and had a great photo op. And of course some girl talk! We are having a great time together though we are exhausted but becoming accustomed to the local late social atmosphere. -Mark have fun in Georgia will try to get a hold ... read more

Hello I can't check my email on this computer so hopefully nothing important was sent to me. I have to check out of my room by 11 today and my plane leaves at like 10 at night so I am going to the lion park for the day! I think it is the one with the babies that you can play with, but I just found out that there are two different parks only one has the babies and I'm not sure which one I arranged to go to so I guess I will see when I get there. It should be fun either way though! My safari was really fun, but different than I expected. It seemed very fenced in everywhere, but other people have told me that I should go to Kenya for my ... read more

A few things I learned at Harnas A warm shower is a small miracle It is possible to be dirty immediatly after showering Sometimes your feet stay cleaner if you don't wear shoes There is a huge difference between a cold shower and a freezing cold shower It will kill you, but you will learn Blisters are a sign of hard work If your hungry don't ask what the food is Spinach can taste REALLY good if your hungry enough "Get in the que" means get in line If you are not confident you WILL get hurt The plants can sometimes be more dangerous than the animals If Frikkie says do it, you do it Cheetahs pee ALOT over night If you can't count on your team you are in big trouble Cheetahs can't pull ... read more

Hello everybody Well, I am back at the chameleons lodge. Leaving Harnas was so sad and everybody was crying I have memories and friends that I think will last a lifetime. So... I am trying to attach some pictures to this email via my lovely wolverine that is working wonderfully thank you mat! I don't even know how to explain everything that I experienced at Harnas Luckily I kept a journal the whole time so maybe when I get home and am not paying for internet I can put some more detailed experiences down. But, just to be brief today... It is SO hands on there. I touched EVERYTHING! And it was so amazing to bond with the animals. I had three favorite "enclosures" Cleo and Pride were two cheetahs that I absolutely loved and slept ... read more

Hello well everything is going good here. Today was a bit boring, as I was on game watch all day so they just stuck us out in a treehouse type thing by a waterhole and we counted the wild game that came to drink. It was fun though as we talked alot of the time (there was 4 of us). So far, I love all the animals. The baby baboons were a bit scary at first (they are pretty old now), but I am alot more comfortable with them now, so they are really fun to play with. The food here is okay, but really boring. I think so far my favorite thing though, was taking cleo and pride (two cheetahs) for a walk the other day. We walked them in a new spot... by the ... read more
