What?! MORE manual labor?!

Thurs-
I thought I was done with paying for the privilege of doing manual labor!  This morning was "road clearing" time.  The road gets overgrown with trees/shrubs and their branches (some of which have nasty thorns) stick out into the road and are a hazard when you're driving (we're in open air safari vehicles), so this morning's task was road clearing.  I pretty much played the girl card and watched mostly, but did clip some errant branches with the clippers.  However, I declined to hack away at the trees with the machete!

This afternoon's game drive was a bust :(
We went looking for Rhinos, but didn't find any :(
We saw some small animals, but mostly at night and it was hard to see.  We saw an Owl, a few "bush babies"- they claim that they are primates, but it looked like a mouse to me, I'll have to look them up on the internet to see what it was I was looking at.  We also saw an African Wild Cat and a Civet (something like the size of a Raccoon).  Others were very excited by these finds, but to me they pale in comparison to a Zebra, Lion, Giraffe, etc....

Oh well, as Scarlet liked to say, tomorrow is another day.
G'night!

This is apparently a bush baby (pic from internet, not me)
and this is a civit (also from the internet, not me)
