Botswana Rocks!!

Well....after 17 hours on the plane, a quick overnight stay in Johannesburg (where I enjoyed a delicious penne pasta with Impala), two more small plane rides and a 3-hour jeep excursion, we are at our first camp. On the last plane ride here (a four-seater), I spotted a giraffe and Tom saw an elephant. On a game drive into the camp we came across a few giraffe, three HUGE storks, several herds of Impala (last night they were delicious, today they were beautiful), lots of monkeys and some elephants. As we approached the camp we saw several elephants with three babies. We backed up the jeep and parked in the middle of the road. The elephants approached us and crossed right beside us, it was spectacular. I'll try to upload a picture, but I know it just can't convey how close we were. So, tomorrow morning it's a canoe trip down the delta. Oh, and why do I say "Botswana rocks"? While we were at the second airport waiting on our connection, Tom and I went upstairs to get a drink. And what did they have? TAB Cola!! I love this place!
