chopping trees and camping out

So I forgot to blog about my AMAZING skills at chopping trees. I have gotten better as I have had to do it a few times in the last few days. So first I have to chop down small gum trees to make sign posts. Then give them to the elephants to bring home...no blisters from that chopping expereince. Then we are going to build a climber for the lions because at the moment there is only a female lion but in a week (possibly a week, a month, a year...it is all the same in africa..it happens when it happens) Irime (the safari Ranch i am working at) are getting a male lion. This climber will be with the lions so they can play but to make the climber we had to cut down BIG trees. You begin to appreciate everything that is electric or gas run...TRUST ME! We chop with axes or these sorry looking knive things. Okay that expereince elicited 2 blisters. THen there was another wedding this weekend and they needed our house so we packed EVERYTHING back up and went camping on the farm end of the safari park. It was absolutly unreal, so peaceful, on the dam, and we had a great time. It was me, the guy (Riley) who runs the volunteer program, his cousin who helps with the volunteer project (Maceala), and our guide who is with us all day from 6 am to 6 pm (Bright). But yesterday we had to make spoons out of a bIG chunk of wood! Mine is amazing (it is actaully a stirring spoon). We worked so hard on them that Maceala said she is putting hers in her will becuase it is so importatnt to her now! I got a nice amount of 3 more blisters from that. We also set up an outside shower and it was so great! But anyways we are back now to head back home as the wedding party has hopefully left!
