Posted by: Megan on: September 20, 2011

Hey all apparently my phone wont let me call or text and most people can never reach me, so i am going to the office today to see whats up.  I may just have a blackmarket sim card.  So we started our trip in Tarengeri and it was soooo hot but I saw a tone of animals like elephants, wildabeast, antelope, monkeys giraffes,warthogs that zazu bird things and timone.  The first camp was great it had a pool, but since we didnt know we could only get our legs in the water.  There was traditional african dance at night which was fun to watch and they had beer so i was happy.  The next day we went to a massai villiage go human planet go! and they taught us how they lived and explained averyhting including.  Their houses are so small i almost had to crawl in,  the chiefs son was very nice and we were there for about an hour.  Erika,Lauren and Heather I bought you massai jewlery i hope you like it. : )  After that we were off to the Serengeti which was great I saw all the animals up close.  That night it was a bush camp so we could not leave the tent also elephants are loud when stomping through the bush there were also buffalo in the camp and then I awoke to things scatching my tent so i had to move down in the tent.  I anders thinks it was lions but i think hyenas since i heard them all night.  The next morning we finished the serengeti and headed to Norgorogoro crater we camped on the rim and it was so cold,oddly i wasnt the coldest one that was marion.  We had to make a fire and i slept in all my clothes.  That night after dinner i came out and an elephant was staring at me, so i waved.  So later after the fire was built we all drank konyagi around the fire go alcohol and I talked to some nice Americans who had just  finished 2 years in the peace core in Benin and was traveling a bit before going home.  Since we had to get up at 5am in the freezing cold we went to bed at 11.  There were worthogs and elephants in our camp and the lions woke me up you would think they could be quiter. The next morning we wnt into the crater and it was awsome but cold. Anywho 726$ , 4 days ,ok bathrooms  a rice free meal priceless.  But it was really great and im so happy I went see you all next friday.
