Yesterday I spent the day at the waterhole watching for animals on the hour and for elephants every 15 minutes. It was super peaceful. However, the walk home was equally as exciting as I saw my first Tanzanian giraffes! Also, I saw these super colorful grasshoppers mating and got a picture. Today was also rather enjoyable as I saw eland, some kind of snake, a dikdik and a jackal. I walked very far searching for individual trees on the GPS. We are monitoring elephant damage in this way. It was a long day but when I get to see different animals, it makes me want to have a long day each day I am here. Finish it off with a wonderful African sunset and a Stoney and the only thing missing is my husband...

I love field work!
