Earth Day!

I know I am a day late but I am cutting myself a break considering jetlag and the 700 emails that were waiting for me upon my return from Africa. Yesterday was Earth Day and in celebration, we went to see the movie “Earth”, a documentary by Disney about the Earth, its plants and animals. I did fall asleep for a little bit (jetlag!), but it was really well done. Plus, proceeds from the movie ticket went toward planting a tree. In honor of the special occasion, I thought I would share some of my pictures from the safari I went on while in Tanzania. I promise tax dollars were well spent on the trip--in order to get to one of our sites we had to drive right through a game reserve. We could see lots of animals from the road but on the way back to the capital, we decided to get a closer look at the animals. It was cool to see the animals in their natural setting.

Here is a video of a Male Elephant that was not happy with how close we got to his family.




More pics to come of the work while in Africa.
