Rain and then finally cool...

So on our 3rd day here we moved from the hotel up to the game lodge. Meaning we are literally in the middle of no where up in the game reserve. It's awesome! As Im typing this it's 10:30 in the morning here, and the views are amazing. We are loving Africa . The view from the porch stretches so far, and all you see are mountains, and tons of green trees. It is gorgeous . The impala are grazing beside the porch, and it's so quiet. Our first day here the rains came. They had not had rain since January, so they were thankful. It rained the entire day and the winds were strong. So we stuffed ourselves with the delicious food, read books, and listened to a talk about the Zulu culture. We are in Zulu land, and it was so interesting to learn all about their culture and traditions. We learned how the propose marriage (down by the river, and with many cows), how they are very superstitious and pray to their ancestors, and just about their way of life. The next day we slept in and our friend Pen came to pick us up. He took us to the elephant interaction center, where we were able to feed and touch the elephants ...amazing! Then we drove to Mkuze falls game reserve and took a game ride there. More details to come about their driving over here and our day! Must head off to the local market and then another game drive in search of lions!
