Shabbos/Sun

Sat-
It was a quiet day.  I again helped with food prep in the morning (after thawing out!), then spent the afternoon reading, sitting in the sun (since I'd been so cold, the sun was a welcome relief, and I forgot to put on sunscreen, so my nose is burnt.  I have the strangest tan lines.  A frum version of a farmer's tan, I guess.  My face has a great tan, my hands and forearms- til the ends of my sleeves, and a few inches between where my leggings end and my socks begin.  I'll need a Hawaiian vacation after this to even out!).

Sun-
My last day here.  It was really quiet around here today as lots of people left to go on the release :(
I again helped with food prep, then packed (had to do it alone, but thank GD I'd learned from Babette- you'd be very proud of me).  The bags weren't much lighter bec most of the food is still here, and in exchange for donating those two pair of shoes, I bought a wooden bowl at a craft market on the way back from Etosha.

I did get in another baby baboon walk, and a few mins with the cheetahs.  The cheetahs were stirred up bec there was a pregnant sheep just outside their enclosure, so we didn't stay in there long.



OK, this is the end of my stay here, and overall it was a great experience.  I will say there wasn't enough animal time, and too much project time for my taste, but overall, it was great.  Playing with the baby baboons was a true highlight.

Onto SA and the Big 5!
Tally Ho!

  1. You and your baby baboons!! I'm going to call all that grooming they do to you, 'beauty treatments'. Because who doesn't like to be fussed over?!?

    I want photo confirmation that you repacked well. ; )~

    Bartering is good!

    Love,
