Day 300
June 1 2015 Main Rest camp- Addo
Elephant Park - South Africa
Wow!
It is hard to believe that we have been on sabbatical for 300 days
already. Time really does fly when you
are having fun. We went a ride around
the park, it was raining and I was not expecting to see much. I was wrong and we had a nice drive with the
highlight being a jackal eating a rat about 10 feet from the car. We then drove around a corner and had to stop
as there was an elephant standing in the middle of the road. The other part of
the pack was in the bush behind us and they walked beside the car to pass
us. The mother put herself between us
and her baby and it was a little disconcerting to have them pass so close as they
are so big. We also saw lots of buffalo,
zebra, hartebeest and warthogs. When I
checked my e-mail I had a message saying the my mom was still in the hospital
with fluid around her heart and lungs. I
also had another e-mail saying that my best friend is in the hospital with a
brain hemorrhage and is in serious condition.
We did go to the restaurant to celebrate our 300th day of the
sabbatical but the bad news has put a damper on my mood.
