Waiting for Marshall
So I ended up touching the Cape Buffalo. Pretty exciting stuff watching the vet prepare to dart the buffalo and then shoot it with the tranq gun and see it run off into the bush and slowly fall down. I was able to hop out of the bakkie and touch the magnificent animal while it was sedated. No way would I have touched it if it had not been sedated. The Cape Buffalo is a very aggressive and dangerous creature that one respects and doesn't go and be close to, much less touch. Pretty cool and I uploaded some photos to my Facebook but I still haven't quite figured out how to upload photos to here, but that shall be accomplished by the end of this week. Promise. Also, this Sunday a certain guy shall be touching down in South Africa for the first time and will be joining me here to help out and experience another part of the world. Marshall is his name and he is going to be keeping me more sane while here and give me another American's perspective on what is happening here. Should be pretty fun. Got the flat almost kitted out and ready for us. Going to finish that tomorrow and hopefully complete the building of a water filter. Have some building security and water filter repairs to be done in the village which shall be tackled as soon as possible. Well until I post again, thank you very much for reading!
