What's up everyone?
Week one is quickly becoming the past and the adventures have begun. After a two day plane ride I finally arrived. I'm 60% sure that we are inside of a canyon so the lanscape is gorgeous everyday. Moholoholo is mostly an aviary, but we also are home to half a dozen lions, a couple hyenas, a handful of cheetahs and serveral cats, some crocodiles and one baby rhino. Presently I am in charge of the baby rhino. I spend sixteen hours every other day in his constant presence as so he won't get lonely. He was abandoned almost immediately after birth by his mother, left crying in the bush. Ussually we don't rescue animals that haven't been hurt by anything that wasnt man-made, but there were several complaints and requests for this rhino. So today he is 8 weeks old and he has two other parents who share the time with him. His name is Tarbo which means happiness in Zulu I think. He's a little handful, but it's very rewarding. I don't have any pictures of him yet, but I'll get on it ASAP!
Holy crap! This is a much better life experience than being in Geology 101 @ IU. You made the right choice and I'm glad you're blogging! Not only does it keep everyone informed but it allows you to look back (short term and long)on what you've done and reflect.
ReplyDeleteSo when you get lonely or tired from traveling (and I know you will if you haven't already... it's much more mentally and physically draining than most thing), get out the journal and just start writing! As cheesy as it sounds, it'll help you figure out what you want out of life
(P)hysically, (M)entally, and (S)ocially!!
What an amazing experience! Keep the stories coming! The pics are unbelievable!!
