A Rough Ride

Sorry No Pictures from today! I wanted to keep my camera clean.

We woke up early to get packed and ready for the ride home. We were going to try to see some leopards on the way home. We went in search of the leopards and saw a small family of Giraffe. We never did get to see them, but we saw lots of other game. We went across a river and the driver said the bridge was too far away. It was a little scary, but just added to the adventure. The ride home was very interesting. We were going to fast, I thought we would lift off the road or the dirt! We made it home almost an hour before the other van. Come to find out that they had been stopped by the police and were being suspected of smuggling diamonds ( the police really just wanted a bribe). The dust was so bad at times, it was coming up from the floorboard. We must have opened and closed the windows 100 times. The pot holes were not any better coming home. We made a call of nature stop on the dirt road in-between a Masai Village and a Kikuyu home. We all went into the bushes and felt very unsafe. I was not sure if a cow, goat, snake, or person might come up beside me. Needless to say, we all made it home safely. My brother and Rob went to town to an art shop. They rest of us relaxed and got settled back in our new rooms at the Guest House. Dinner was at the Carnivore. It is a tourist place that use to serve all different types of game meat. They had no choices. The exotic game we had was camel, ostrich, and crocodile. None of which were very good. I would not recommend that place to anyone. We used to be able to get a wide variety of really good meat, but no more. The best things were the sauces and the dessert (if you know Africa, you know the desserts are terrible).
I got to talk with Charley tonight and it was great to hear from them. I miss them and I am looking forward to seeing them soon.
Love and happiness,
