Today I went on a nature walk with the group. We basically spent our time matching poop to the correct animal. Did you know that zebra poop is kidney-shaped? Antelope poop is round with a light elongation at one end. Antelope poop has tons of termite heads inside. We also saw zebra and more elephant tracks.
I ran 6 miles today all under 8 minute pace…YAY! On the first run (I did 4) with Frances we ran into quite a few goats on the wrong side of the fence. We even helped one get its head loose from the fence. And no...he did not say thank you...he didn't even looke back. Then as we strated to run again I saw this huge fuzzy object clearing the fence. At first I thought it was a goat, but then I thought, "Cybil goats can't jump that high!" I was right....it was a BABOON! It jumped into the compound right in front of us! He was HUGE and sort of scary-looking. I was a little spooked to keep running by myself, probably due to the fact that the movie Congo scared the living daylights out of me.
Now I’ve got lots of reading:/
