Today was enclosure patrol for my group. You walk around all the animal enclosures and make sure the fences are intact, and the electricity of the electrified fences are working. However, I had to skip the two mile walk as my blisters are killing me! For some reason the hiking boots I wore in Costa Rica three years ago (yes, that was actually the second time I've worn hiking boots, the first time was also in Costa Rica after USC) are now killing me, and will stay here in Africa. Then, the knock off Sketcher toning tennis shoes I bought are killing my heels, so hopefully on Sun I'll be able to go into town and purchase new shoes.
So today I did food prep instead.
In the afternoon we went to feed the Cheetahs, Wild Dogs, and the Leopard. We drove by the Lions as well, but didn't feed them, as that's part of some tour they do. Most of the other volunteers left to fight a brush fire at a neighbor's farm (neighbor meaning 80 km away).
The moon tonight was an amazing yellow as it rose, but by the time I got my camera is was back to white.
Wow. Can't wait to see those lunar pictures! It was be so amazing with absolute darkness.
ReplyDeleteI guess some tea tree oil would be helpful right about now. Hang in there! If you can find some epsom salt to soak your feet, that will alleviate the soreness.
