Lake Masek

We had a great three hour game drive early this morning. We saw a lot of things even though these were sort of spread out.  We laugh that we have gotten very jaded about seeing so much and expecting them to just come up to the road in a line for us to see.  I think my two favorite sightings were the two sets of spotted hyenas we saw that we were right next do and they just looked at us and let us take their photo.  We also saw a great elephant family with several babies and they entertained us for awhile as they moved across the road in front of us.  Right now, the hippos in Lake Masek are entertaining me as I write this.  Our tents here are so nice. They are huge and have both a tub and a shower. The shower is outside-a cement sided shower with a door into our tent.  It is actually really nice but it is still a little cool here at night so it was a little brisk shower!  The tub felt mighty good too. We said we were the dirtiest yesterday that we had ever been on this trip.  We had driven for several hours over one lane dirt roads that were SO dusty.  It just caked us all. 
We have a free afternoon today and it sounds pretty nice. This camp is new and everything is so nice.  The eating area and verandah are nice to sit and birdwatch, read or watch the hippos below. We have slept well but we have been on the go constantly.  We could take a walk this afternoon but I think we will pass on it and just relax.  The birds here are gorgeous. We have seen so many and have some great photos.  Well they are calling me for lunch so I will close and send this for now. Since internet is free here, I will get on again and try to send some photos though so far, none has sent.
