So....I caved to temptation. Instead of spending the day at the hotel recovering, we all took a day trip safari to a volcanic crater and saw all kinds of animals!!! It was soooooo incredibly cool. We saw Zebra, Wildebeest, Antelope, Hyenas, Lions...having just fed on one of those Wildebeest, three types of monkeys (including Baboons climbing into cars, and an Elephant that was so close to us, I stopped breathing....I have enough photos to last generations. The only major problem is that we spent 13 hours in a car -two more than planned because we needed it repaired on the way home -- and now our sore muscles are worse than ever. I am swelling up like a water balloon...so the plane trip home should be fun :) Of course it's my right leg that has never been the same since the lightening strike.. and now it is REALLY unhappy that I made it climb to the top of Africa.
Today was a great way to end our time here in Africa and we are all looking forward to starting home tomorrow - sans Hannah as she heads back to Rwanda.
I may post again before we fly out -- but for now -- I am headed to bed and to put my ever increasingly large leg up......
