1st: I got a male duck (below) who has made my Lady ducks ever so happy! They basically follow him around everywhere (which I find sad but whatev...) and I'm hoping for some ducklings soon!
2nd: I went on a rockin safari with my spectacular sister Betty and Brother-in-law Peter. We had a great time, it was such a treat, saw basically everything, lived the life of luxury, and the best part of all, I got to see some loved ones after a long time of missing them!
We also hung out with a pride of lions in Ngorongoro...my personal highlight!
3rd: After the Safari and a few days at site, I took a trip with other PCV's out west (by train...30 hours...I'm surprised we all survived) to Kigoma to Gombe National Park. This is the place where Jane Goodall studied chimpanzees. When trekking through the jungle in the park we ran into none other than JANE GOODALL and for 70 years she looks spectacular and is incredibly nice. I did everything a fan would do except say "You are the COOLEST scientist EVER!" and was all wide-eyed. It was fantastic.
Of course, seeing the chimps was spectacular as well !
Lake Tangyanika is beautiful, especially swimming during sunset. It was a spectacular vacation but I'm ready to go back to teaching (and sleeping in my own bed). I'm also broke.......
P.S. Coming home in August! Can't wait to see everyone!
