All Creatures Great and Small




Today, Matt, Jess, Chelsea, and I rented a car and drove to Lake Naivasha to go on a 'boat safari'. We drove past a large volcanic crater, which happened to be located in the Rift Valley. To begin, I will list the animals seen today: Dogs (some dead unfortunately), a Camel, a Cat, Hippopotamuses, Water Bucks, Impalas, Zebras, an African Fish Eagle, Pelicans, a Kingfisher, Monkeys, Horses, Gazelles, Wildebeest, Ibuses (birds), Gerts (birds), and Cormorants (yes, birds). We started at the Lake Naivasha Country Club for coffee, then had lunch at the Drifter restaurant- a floating restaurant in the reeds of the lake. Needless to say, the day was supurb. On the way home, we stopped off for groceries, as we are planning a safari/camping trip for the weekend. Not that this is particularly interesting, but we made pizza and rhubarb crumble for dinner. This is boring but noteworthy because Chelsea and I have been starved for the good old fat and sugar that reminds us of home :)
