Hey everybody,
It's a cool 25 degrees C and partially cloudy here on Moyo hill. Yesterday the gang took a trip to Tarangire National Park. We spent the morning doing a population counting exercise using road transects and GPS etc. We saw lots of zebra, elephant, ostrich, wildebeest, impala, bushbuck, dikdik, and more. We also saw three cheetahs and a lion, so that was exciting to see some carnivores. They were far away and laying in the shade, though, nothing too interesting. My new goal is to see some serious hunting/feeding action. After the animal viewing, we went to the safari lodge. It was very classy and relaxing. They had couches (which we haven't seen in a couple weeks), an awesome view of the park, and a very refreshing pool where we got to swim (and remove some layers of dirt). I also bought a swahili book to supplement the class and hopefully clarify some things.
On Saturday, we went to an orphanage in the nearby town Mto wa Mbu for some community service. We built them a quite impressive see-saw and a little playhouse. Then we played with the little rascals for hours. It was fun, and exhausting.
That's all for today. Maybe someday I'll manage to get a picture or two on here.
