Text Messages from Africa!

Amazing how technology is!! Here are texts from Sandy to Sara with updates from the trip!!

August 5, 2013 - We spent the day at a village for the deaf, dumb, and blind artists. Now a few of us went to a small village where we drank beer and ate fried bananas and barbequed goat meat. The poverty is heartbreaking. Ready for bed.

August 6, 2013 - We saw wildbeast, lots of zebra, impala, elephant families, monkeys, warthog, leopard, dik-dik, and mongoose. And of course, awesome birds!! Of to the tent camp hotel. Love, Mom

August 7, 2013 - Got up early for a five hour safari. We saw elephant families, about 25 baboons, giraffe, baboons, ostrich..... and we got very lucky - we saw 6 lionnesses!! And got pictures! Can't wait to show you! More hiking in about an hour.... we then went to a Masai village and saw a very hard life for women. The women do ALL the work, while the men sit around all day and think of ways to get more wives and more cows.
