Few Extra Thoughts

I forgot to mention the chameleon in our room the first night. It attacked Stanley and was very very determined to keep hold of Stanley's arm. Swaffie had to struggle to get him off.

I napped this afternoon, got up for dinner, we went to an Ethiopian place. Some sort of sour rice bread, lamb with delicious sauce, potatoes with spicy sauce, chicken, lentils, some veggies, and holy crap amazing vegetarian lasagna. That was so so good. Also had a sip of Brenna's Castle Milk Stout, which was delicious. Memo to self: dark beer good. We walked back and I'm chilling here. I feel like I have a couple other things to mention...

Oh yeah! So on our third safari, at lunch, there was this monkey. It apparently fought both Michelle and Becky for food before I arrived, but I saw it attack this woman one table over. The family wasn't paying attention, their own fault really. The woman slapped at the monkey, attacked it with the box, the monkey scratched at her. Two tables over some guy was laughing HYSTERICALLY, he was clearly more than a little amused. We were pretty entertained as well, though less loud about it. The woman got away, but the monkey came back ten minutes later and ate something she had dropped, so I guess it won. We carried rocks just in case it came near us to throw at it.

Speaking of throwing rocks, at the campsite some of our group invented a new form of skeet shooting. One person would throw a rock into the air, underhand lob, and the other would try to hit it in the air with another rock. I didn't partake, and I think one person hit once, maybe two people got it, but it was pretty entertaining to watch. They also balanced a board on a rock, had a person stand on either side and try to rotate it 360, which was quite unsuccessful, but again, entertaining. We make our own fun, I suppose.
