Hunting Lions. World Cup.


22 June 2010...again.

Today literally the coolest thing I have ever seen (and probably will ever see) happened. I watched 9 lions hunt. There is no way to explain how amazing it was. My heart was racing, arms shaking. It was phenomenal. It started to rain and it was quite cold but that didn’t deter us from observing intently. They didn’t succeed in their first kill so they regrouped. It looked like they had a little meeting to discuss what went wrong. Then they started moving across this huge grass field to try again. We must have watched them for almost 2 hours in the on and off rain. But it was an experience I’ll never ever forget.

Ironically, again, I’m in a foreign country during the World Cup. It’s cool to experience it in different settings. It’s particularly awesome because this is the first time the World Cup has been on African soil and I’m in Africa. It’s really special and means so much to the people here, and I’m so happy I get to be a part of it. And I’ve actually been paying attention! Go Ghana!
