This letter is hurried and short
because I was just told that a wom-
an who lives down the river is
going into civilzation and ean post
it.
We arrived at the cottage last
nite, about 7:30. Actually the cot-

are hot in S. Rhodesia but in
Bechuanaland. We crossed into N.
Rhod; then back to |S. Rhod; then
into Bachuana. 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.
