1030AM
Our second game drive began at 630 this morning. My coldness was like unto the coldness of a thousand arctic winds. Today, that stupid crocodile turned his nose up at a delicious spoonbill duck. Our disappointment was epic. He's lucky I didn't come down there. We also saw hippopotomai. Hippopotomai are tiny gray smudges.
1245PM
I need to introduce the team.
Robb is our spiritual leader. All the black people in South Africa think he is Taylor Lautner. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why people would get excited and bring up werewolves whenever they met him. Robb is a great teacher and, according to the musicians we met here, has an African soul.
David is smart. He knows alot of stuff about alot of stuff. He was homeschooled, apparently by Pythagorus. With the help of his Nikon, he has doubled the amount of digital data in the world since we've been on this trip.
Jared's name has only one R. So I apologize for misspelling it so much. Jared kicks complete tail on the drums, is an extremely smart and funny dude, and he does not snore. Jared instituted story time on our trip which was easily one of my favorite parts of the whole experience.
Bob is an excellent left-side-of-the-road, right-side-of-the-car driver. His record for number of times accidentally turning on the windshield wipers on a drive is 5. Bob found out he had to come on this trip when he got here and he was still cool with it. He's single-handedly responsible for the upcoming outbreak of Chinese jump rope fever in Soshanguve.
Lori and Emily are mother and daughter. They are both really nice people. Emily is the youngest on our trip but she did an awesome job. They are really good with the kids.
Patsy is a really sweet lady. She is team mother. We would have been reduced to a lord of the flies existence if she weren't here. She also wears really jaunty hats.
Becky and Alyssa are sisters. They're from Bridgewater, Virginia, home of some baseball player's grandpa. Alyssa tells awesome stories about her days at Turner Ashby High (Go Green Hornets). She and Becky are both awesome with the kids. Becky tells great stories too but we didn't know until like day 8. She also knows some kind of Kung fu or something, and all cats are afraid of her.
130PM
Oh and there were monkeys today. We saw monkeys too.
5PM
We made up a game today. It's called African Battleship. African Battleship is where you throw rocks at each other. Thulani won. When we got back from the hospital, we played some other games. We found out that Robb is secretly a ninja. He beat up everyone with a stick and then made it levitate. It was flippin rad.
Willem makes this mushroom sauce that makes me weep it's so good.
We've just been hanging out at this house all day, goofing off and playing games while woodland creatures scamper around outside. What a fantastic way to end the trip. Time to go home.
