Botswana safari
February 17th, 2009 Posted in UncategorizedHello all! I know I said that the next post would be a Q and A, but I only have a minute right now and wanted to take my opportunity to post while the internet is working well. On Thursday morning I will be leaving for Livingstone with a couple of other students. We will then travel from there into Botswana for an overnight safari trip. The wildlife reserve there is called Chobe National Park and is apparently amazing! Although I have been warned that this is the wrong season for viewing animals (as it is green and lush the creatures can hide better and because there are more water sources they are more spread out). We will be returning to Macha on Sunday. If the internet is working and I have a chance tomorrow I will post again, if not, you will hear from me after my return on Sunday. I am really excited…don’t worry, I will be taking lots of pictures!

Take a good pair of running shoes. You don’t have to out run the animals, you just have to be faster than the other students. Love you, Uncle Mike

Haha very true what Uncle Mike said. Can’t wait to see the pictures…Oh and remember how I told you to check out The Devil’s Pool at Victoria Falls (when you travel there), well cancel that idea. Could be a little to dangerous, and don’t want you floating off the edge.

Mary–
I love reading your posts! I look for them often. I hope you have a wonderful (safe) time on your safari & do indeed see lots of animals! I hear your sadness on leaving the Peds wards…I’m 3 weeks into my next rotation and am having serious withdrawal myself…
I continue to pray for you!
Take care,
Liz
