The many animals of Africa....

This week has been a week full of animals....

allow me to elaborate....
Everyday there are bugs in our house....big nasty huge bugs that look like they could sting you but really just make a lot of noise and never actually sting....mosquitoes show up once in a while and some moths here and there....

When we first came we had a bird fly into our house...yes....and into our room...so Jessica and I handled it like pros...we ran and screamed and followed it until it flew out :) problem solved.

Then on Monday we had our first snake sighting..in the house....I was in the room...Jessica in the hall and she goes
"Uh Tash, there's a snake in our house"
I freak out and go "What?!?!? WHAT?!?!?"
Then the snake comes under the door in our room
I proceed to curl up in a ball on our bed and scream my head off...which scared the snake away.
We now have a big stick in our room for such creaturely visits
Oh..and the snake was found later that day by one of the guys living with us. :)

Today (Wednesday) we went to Murchison falls and the game park there...we saw many many animals...like elephants and lions and giraffes...those you'll have to see pictures of later

Not too much else except crazy busy, but wonderful...we've had a few more days in the field already and have some great stuff planned for the rest of the week...so looking forward to seeing you all and talking to you and sharing stories because i have many many to tell!!!!
Thats all for now...
