... State Historic Park in California. We didn’t have time to do any sightseeing en route to our 1:30 tour at DeWildt Cheetah Conservation Centre, though, so we skipped several potentially interesting places en route: Ndebele village near Middelburg at Botshabelo, Cullinan diamond mine tour, and the Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Pretoria. Since the deWildt tours weren’t held on Mondays, we had to do it this day, so it was ...

... quite dangerous. I was looking at the road and calculating how much of a lead time we'd need to outrun it if it charged. Hippos can and do bite humans in two with their powerful jaws and could certainly destroy a car if the desire occurred to them. After a tense moment, the hippo turned around and went back down into his pool. We started breathing again and drove on. It was a wonderful way to spend part of a day, but by 2:00 we ...

... I got to the Johannesburg airport we found out Jim and Jane's flight had been delayed. They finally made it out to us in the terminal lobby about an hour later than we originally expected. Turned out there had been a bomb scare at the Cape Town airport when they were in line to get their boarding passes and the terminal had to be evacuated for a short period of time. After the evacuation they ran back to the ticket counter and managed to get their ...

... all in shorts and vest tops. We were hit unfortunately and managed to get pretty soaked, but the rain only lasted about 15 mins, so once we m,ade it back to the walk beginning we were drying off a bit. By now we were all exhausted and had blisters on our feet, so we hitched a ride back to the campsite with a nice couple in their posh BMW. We fit all 5 of us in teh back of this saloon car....it was hilarous, and the couple were so lvoely to do it. Lucky we did ...

... eventually reached out destination. As we began our drive we saw zebra and other non-predators. We then entered the lion enclosure and began peering earnestly out the window. We needed to see at least one lion. Suddenly there they were - lying in the middle of the road. Five males and three females took up most of the road. They dozed away almost completely unaffected by our presence as we merrily clicked away. A female roared menacingly at us. The ...

I have just finished my first week of school, and it actually wasn't too bad. I am taking two entrepreneurship classes, an international business management class, forensic auditing, and, ironically enough, an english class on modernism. I need one more to graduate, so I though, why not here? It is a little strange to study American literature, as an American, in a totally foreign country. The biggest thing that I have ...

... birds we identified and the dates we did so, and I am going to list them here. We thought that some people might be interested in seeing the birds we identified, so if you would like to see what they look like you could do a Google Image search or try this website: www.south-african-lodges.com/birds We like the idea of this challenge - we think Mim would enjoy it and we are learning a lot in the process. We hope you enjoy it too. Don't forget you can sponsor us by following ...

... is the North American equivalent of Jerky. We each took some regular Springbok in the afternoon. Our first hunting day in African was a success by all accounts we all had a great time and returned to the farm house for a Braai (BBQ) of Sprigbok livers and kidneys. After supper we loaded the truck and headed to Altheim which was about two hours away where we checked into a very nice guest house for the night. Shawn
