Something was crashing around in the bushes last night shortly after we went to bed last night--Jody was kind of freaking out and kept telling her (and myself) that it was a dikdik but then it started knocking down trees and we decided it was a hippopotamus. I tried to get some reading done while I was up but I was fading fast and quit at 11. Hippopotamus or no, I blacked out as soon as my head hit the pillow and woke up when my watch went off at 7am; I think the What's-Outside-the-Tent Game: Midnight Edition might be finally done.
Got up early to finally handwash my underwear and socks but for the first morning since we've been here, there was no water in the basin outside our tent! I guess it will have to wait til later--although not too much later since I'm on my last pair of underwear ;)
Right now we're on our way to the MRC (Mpala Research Center) for the first time to analyze yesterday's data and I'm hoping for a chance at email and camera charging (I'm on my last camera battery too!).
