I love animals

30/11/11
So as most of you know, I am an animal lover. Well what could be better for an animal lover than awesome african animals!? On my way to training, while riding in the shuttle, I saw many zebras, baboons, antelope and gazelle! Then to top it off, at the hotel we are staying at there are monkeys everywhere! The just hang out on the roof tops! Today at lunch they were eyeing us and our food, we were pretty much face to face. It was so awesome however monkeys tend to bite, so it was a little scary. But again, it's just so cool being able to see these animals not in cages in the zoo.
Today we visited a small company that makes water filters. Earlier I wrote that I use PUR, a chemical to treat my drinking water. Well this company makes clay pots that clean the water as it filters through the pores! It was really neat seeing each step in the process of how each one is made, tested, and packed to ship. I am considering buying one, I just have to figure out how to take it back to site, traveling with more than a bag here is a little difficult. I also will try to take pictures if I go back. Ben... if you're reading this, imagine a huge ceramics studio with 4 huge kilns that hold 190 pots each! Pretty amazing!
