This afternoon, my friend Mary and I took our kids, Orion, Awesome, and her baby girl Ellie down to the river so they could play on the beach. Awesome stops playing all of sudden and I realize he is looking up at some birds. A few minutes later, he stops again and I wonder "what are you looking at this time, Awesome, more birds?" Nope! ELEPHANTS! A herd of 15 elephants were just across the river. Mary and I were overjoyed. The herd moved along the river, then stopped to drink, then crossed it! Mary and I followed their progress on our side of the beach, but then quickly retreated once we saw them crossing. There was no danger though because they turned to walk away from us, sadly. Just one of those afternoons when I love being in Africa.
