Animal Drive

---

I’m not really sure who decided we needed to leave at 7 a.m. but someone did. Everyone who showered last night got hot water. Sarah showered this morning and got the same. Apparently the shower had something against me because I was all ready for a hot one and instead got cold once again. Such is life.

Paul arrived early and we hit the road. There were a few necessary errands before leaving town, but we made it eventually. Our 6 hour drive turned into an almost 9 hour drive because of errands, stops, and seeing animals.

The animals were pretty cool, though. Someone apparently saw zebras, but I missed them yet again. A little ways down the road, we saw baboons in trees (think Rafiki); even farther down the road, they were on the road! I got a few pictures, including one sitting on a powerline. One of the baboons came up almost to the car as Spencer was trying to feed it. There were babies too.

Then, Paul directed our attention to a herd of elephants on one side. It was pretty stinkin’ cool! Just farther down the road, there were two more elephants about 15 yards from the car. One of them had HUGE tusks!

Also, there were some camels being herded. I didn’t realize there were camels in this part of Africa, but it makes sense, I guess.


***I will add more to this but I'm at the cafe right now.
