If you count our journey from their time we left the safari lodge to the time we got home it was 48 hrs of traveling. Got more sleep on the way back than on the way over and this morning I feel fine. Seems a little strange to wake up in this location though.
Hard to express all of the thoughts, feelings and emotions of the past two weeks. I am not sure what to do with them but I know that I can't just leave it as a fun and unusual experience. Everything I do, everyplace I go brings a memory of something in Kenya. Usually of how thing are exactly the opposite there of what I see here. I know that guilt is not the answer, nor is selfrighteousness but instead a burning desire to do something positive for the long term.
Was about to download my Kenya pictures but found out I don't have enough space on my hard drive. Will head out today to pickup an external hard drive for my lap top, needed one anyway. I will be thinking twice now before I purchase something I don't really need.
Our safari was eventful as well. Saw lions devouring a zebra they had recently killed and hyenas devouring a dead wildebeest. Lots of hippos, elephants and giraffes and we were attacked by about a gazillion ants in our tents.
Can't say enough about the team we had. They stepped up when ever the need arose. Worked together, laughed together, even cried together sometimes. No complaints, no grumbling no feeling sorry for ones self. I believe everyone came away touched in some way by what we saw and changed for the better.
This is probably my last blog now. I hope others will post a final blog as we wrap things up.
