Yesterday, we went to the zoo for our excursion... interesting to note that they feed the lions actual whole skinned animals... not just slabs of meat. I saw the lion swinging around a skinned whole calf.
woof.
The noteworthy aspect of the trip was the bus ride home.
the bus pulls up and i note that its totally full... and there are seven of us that need on. So, ok... well just pile in and stand.
I somehow was the last one in line to board the bus... so when i did, the only spot left (aas gestured to me by the driver) was the hump beside his shifter... aka part of the dashboard. right in front of the flapping open door. I laughed internally the whole way home... when i wasnt clinging on for dear life.
Busses here DO NOT drive slow. they swerve in and out of traffic like a porsche... and the top speed we hit was 120 KPH. (i think thats somewhere around 80 MPH.)
Pretty much that bus ride was the most fun of my life... im not sure it can be topped. (unless maybe i had to rise on top of the bus... haha.)

The lion eating that sounds gross. How sad. But the bus ride sounds like fun! :) Glad you enjoyed it. Sounds kinda crazy around there.
HA! I was actually expecting you to say that you had to ride on the roof or something! But still, sounds interesting.
a whole calf? like legs and all? how? man that sounds real good right now. I'm sure you agree...
Basically love the story abotu the bus ride because, what is more awkward than anything on a bus? nothing?
