Thursday

Today the team left the hotel they have been staying at the past few nights and went to find animals!

They stopped at a market and bought lots of fun souvenirs.  There was lots of bartering and trading going on.  One of the girls even traded some of her clothes for jewelry.

They checked into their hotel on the animal reserve and headed out to find animals.  Nick said they mostly saw elephants, antelopes and monkeys.  The lions and zebras but have been taking a nap.  The safari is taken care of by the Mossi tribe.  After the safari they went back to the hotel for dinner.

The group went outside for their evening debrief and were visited by an elephant!  Nick says there is a fence between the hotel and the animals but they are still pretty close together.

It was dark when Nick and I spoke on the phone.  He went outside with his flashlight and as he moved it around he said he saw eyes.

There will be an early morning trip to look for more animals then a long bus ride to the airport to head back home.

Pray for safe travels and patience as traveling can be difficult.
