erience of a lifetime!! The first activity we took on was riding the elephants! This was by far the most incredible adventure any of us had ever taken on. Though they were smelly, the ride was very fun! The height freaked Travis out a little bit, and he took a fall from the elephant. He was not willing to try again, so he walked alongside of us. Next, by Marybeth's idea we decided to have a walk with the lions. The creatures were beautiful and frightening all at the same time. It was neat to see how a lion living in Africa would spend its normal day. Lastly, we drove around in a Jeep to view all of the scenery the kind Africans had described to us. Africa truly is a stunning place with so many places to see in just one park. Due to the Africans interest in us, they offered us a free day if we would sit down and tell them about ourselves. The many stories of our lives appeared to be joyful because big smiles quickly spread to the natives. We told them all about America and how different things were. The Africans seemed so appreciative compared to the little they had and the overloading, mass amounts we had. The stories ended up taking a lot more time than intended and they offered us free food. Swiftly, we ate and headed back to the hotel for a good nights rest.

The sun was reflecting off of the water causing a blue reflection in the sky It was absolutely stunning. After passing more scenery, the next stop was Antelope Park. The opportunities were endless. It included activities such as walking with lions, riding African elephants on land or in the water, sight seeing in a vehicle or on a horse, boat rides, and canoeing. This was going to be an exp
