September 28, 2014 (Ant's Nest, South Africa)

Today it was a very laid back day, It was a nice time to catch up on homework and relax for a little. We woke up at 7:30 and went to breakfast at 8:00. Breakfast was very good I had the continental breakfast, which is a cold breakfast instead of a hot breakfast. Shortly after we went on a game drive where we saw Wildebeest, Zebra, Eland, Kudu, Waterbuck, Euphorbia tree, Velvet monkey, Impala, Giraffe, Blesbok, Brown Neck eagle, and a Cargill cat which are very rare, we were very lucky. It was fun , our guide Sam taught us about the animals, and plants, he has been working here for 14 years.

After our game drive we had lunch with the three new guests from Australia. They were very nice. After lunch when I was doing my homework I saw rhinos right below our deck. I scurried down and went to see them. They were friendly. I was able to pet one of their horns. The horn is made out of a mixture between hair and nails. The difference between horns, what rhinos have, and antlers that deer have back in Park City is that horns are permanent and antlers are seasonal.

Later we had muffins for "afternoon tea" and finished my homework, and walked down to the pond to watch the sunset. The sunset was very peaceful. There are no other sunsets in the US like it.
