Our day at the Octagon Lodge in Karatu was spent as a workday for everyone. The photography students focused on designing the book and 7-minute video that they’ll be presenting at the end of their trip, while the wildlife group filled out survey sheets and wrote in their journals. In addition, the students worked in their four groups to make progress with their corresponding article assignments. They enjoyed a short shopping trip in the Karatu village, escorted by Maggie, where students bartered jewelry and explored a common market full of beans, spices, and fresh avocados. The day ended with a delicious grilled dinner, showers, and fresh laundry.

ReplyDeleteKT PU - not sure why John Mecca wants to bust on me like that! In fact, he actually tripped me and caused me to fall very hard on my back on the ice :) - darn those snow snakes! I'll survive though. It is going to get into the single digits here this weekend, so enjoy the balmy temps in Africa. I hope that the market was fun and that you found the perfect African gift for your Papa G and Mama D! Can't wait to see you and hear first hand all about your adventures - it sounds like a trip of a lifetime (to quote Mecca Man). We miss you very much and hope you are enjoying this trip. Always looking forward to the next blog and photos. Love-dad

ReplyDeleteThat market sounds fabulous! It's so cool that you are really getting to bond and interact with the tribes at the campsites you are staying at! I still am in awe at how close you are getting to the wildlife! Call me crazy but I have started a little countdown for your arrival home since this blog says your trip is 26 days I have calculated that you will be home in 9 days if I have counted correctly! But I know you are having an amazing time and probably dont want it to end so keep living it up and I am so so excited to see all of the amazing pictures BIg Berth has taken! love love love you and miss you tons!
