Erin's post

Hey everybody it's Erin Jan's daughter if u don't know me. My mom texted me and told me to tell everyone that they won't be in a service area for posting or updating the blog for a while unless by random chance. They are having a great time so far and are all safe! My mom bought an African cell phone so that's how we are keeping in contact! So I'm going to tell a little bit about the last few days. So far the animals they've seen are elephants,olive baboons, bush buck, dikdik, grants gazelles, gerenuk, giraffes, scrub hair, impalas, lions, vervet monkeys, oryx, grevy's zebra and the most recent animal is a leopard! That seem's like it would be so exciting but no pictures to share yet! Today they went to a Samburu village and it was amazing and a great experience! Their safari tour guide is getting married in a few years and to be able to get married he has to get 12 cows to grant his wife and her family with. Each cow costs about $100 which my mom says would take about 1 year for him to get that money, so yesterday they put some of their money together and bought him 1 cow so now he has about 8 cows, 1 cow closer to getting married! Hopefully they will be in an area where they can post photo's soon but if not I'll keep everyone updated! (:

    Wow, they're seeing animals that I've never even heard of! Can't wait to see some pictures.
    It's great that we can still keep in touch with texting.
    Keep blogging until the tourists are back in Internet country, Erin!
    Much love to all.

    Hi Erin,
    Thanks for the posts. If you are talking to your mom again can you please get her to pass a message to Maggie that her favorite employee resigned. I know she will want to hear that right away. :) Thanks
