One of the things we do is clean up "Vultures Restaurant". This clearing is essentially where they dump all the rotting meat that is not fed to the lions in order to encourage the Vulture to take up residence in the park. Its a very amusing activity with the right people because everything has been in the heat so long it has turned into leather. This cow, for example, was as stiff as a board. Its hide had entirely turned into brittle leather. We had alot of fun down there. Pictures, catch, and using brittle skin bits as boomerangs.
The following morning, myself and two other volunteers went on a long walk (Five hours) with the two Es. They were very affectionate and well behaved. We would walk for an hour or so and then sit and relax with them for an hour or so. Very enjoyable. I forgot my ipod, though, and as a result took up whittling. I actually got fairly good at it.

Cool Pics. That "E" lion pic....yawning or a little upset you were taking his picture??!! Keep enjoying your amazing adventures. Really...how many people get to say they've played with dead cow parts??!! I'm pretty sure that is one thing dad never did!
I like the last picture. I was wondering, did he make that face because he saw yours? LOL Love you. Have fun!
No, never played with dead cows, but it also brings a whole new meaning to "cow tipping" (which I have done!)
Keep the pictures coming. Have you re-thought about taking one of the excursions? The 15th of December will be here before you know it!
This is the first time I've been able to check in. You appear to be having a wonderful time. I’m looking forward to hearing more about your adventures!
