Right across the river is East Africa so I'll get there before we leave. We stopped in Victoria Falls on the way up. Niagara looks like rap- ids compared to this. They are ab- solutely gorgeous and, best of all, not commercialized. The only build- ings around are native huts. I bought Julie’s Christmas present from .one of the natives. What a riot. Three natives and I haggled for 15 minutes over the price. Dr. Thompson thinks I got a bargain. We reached big game country about dusk. We had already seen baboons, monkeys, buck. On the road we nearly hit a gorgeous black and white sable. After we crossed into Bechuana on a real crazy ferry, we came to a screeching halt as a herd of elephants ambled the road in front of us. We sat there with elephants all around. The two girls were cry- ing and holding onto me for dear life; Mrs. Thompson was keeping track of the elephants on our left, Dr. Thompson was debating whether or not to proceed and I was fum- ing because it was too dark to take pictures. A baby elephant came straight for us but luckily the moth- er pushed him away. (We were driv- ing through deep sand at the time and’ Dr. Thompson was hoping that the 4-wheel drive of the Land Rov- er would take us through the brush if the elephants charged. But they didn’t. We beat it out of there and then passed 6 hyenas and 3 buf- falo. ‘All this happend in the 12 mile drive from the border to the cottage! Thompson's said they had- n't seen so much game in their lives. This morning when we got up there were elephant droppings and footprints all around the cottage and down by the river. What a dull, uninteresting place! (This is a joke, of course.) It's so hot outside that I get a splitting headache with a hat and sun glasses on. We wear long- sleeved shirts and long pants to keep us from frying. Inside the cot- tage it’s cool and comfortable. Al- though it’s hot here, it’s not hum- id. ‘Another surprising thing is that the only insects I've seen are ‘ants. Africa’s sunsets are gorgeous! And the flowers. Wild poinsettias grow everywhere; all ‘sorts of palm trees, orange, lemon, banana, nd tang- ello trees grow uncultivated. This afternoon we are going fish- ing for breem and tiger fish.
