I have absolutely neglected this blog as of late, and for that, I apologize. I'm back in Kenya now, heading back to the bush tomorrow, but a lot has happened between the last post and now, so i'll try to catch everyone up to speed as concisely as possible.
So as far as my knee goes, i'm well on the road to full-recovery. I have fortunately continued healing up quickly, and my biggest obstacle right now is trying not to do too much too quickly. I just need to keep up with the PT and let it heal up.
The biggest/best stuff to happen was Amie's trip down to South Africa. It was absolutely great to see her after 7 long months, and we had a blast while she was visiting. We headed up to Kruger National Park for 3 days over Christmas Eve/Christmas, and had a great time. We saw all the big animals, including lions, leopard, cheetah, elephant, hyena and tons of gazelle-type animals. On the way back from the park we stopped at the Blyde River Canyon, which is apparently the third largest canyon in the world. It was absolutely amazing. We also took a day trip to a park not far from Pretoria, where among other things we got to see a lion hunt and kill a warthog, which was incredible. I took Amie back out the lion park so she could pet some lion cubs and feed the giraffe, and we got a bonus because there was a jaguar cub there for some reason (jaguars don't live naturally in Africa) and we also got to feed an ostrich (which actually pretty unsettling because ostriches are terrifying). On the way to Kruger we spent the night in Johannesburg and went to the Apartheid Museum which was very well put together and well-worth the visit.
Anyways, all in all it was tremendous trip, and it was great to see her. Of course, saying good bye was no fun, but i'm looking forward to getting back to the States to see her and my friends/family this summer, hopefully July-ish. I'm including a link to some of the pictures from Amie's trip, so enjoy those. I hope everyone had a great holiday-time and a fun New Years. I'll update again after I get to site, hopefully nothing venomous has moved into my house. Talk to y'all soon.
