I'm sitting in Dulles airport in Washington, D.C. It feels a little strange to be back. I had a wonderful time and made so many new friends (Mel, Gabe, Stephina, Steve, Zach, Scott, Uzmah, Crystal, Kathy, Sphesh..the list goes on and on)! I got plenty of sleep on the plane from Joburg--almost 16 hours--to make up for all the sleep I didn't get on the trip. The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind and it will take me a little while to process everything I did and saw.
The past few days I've been in Phalaborwa at Kruger National Park. Go there. You won't regret it. I'm going back as soon as absolutely possible. Below is a list of everything I saw on the game drives. See you all soon!
