My first Safari

Ok first off I need to let you all know I don't have access to the internet hardly at all so I'm not ignoring you at all. I miss you all and have so many stories to tell you already. I love this place.
Ok so today I went on safari and I must say so far it's my favorite day here in South Africa. It's 6:30pm and I'm going to try and keep this simple 'cause it's dinner time and we've been on the road most of today so I'm HUUUUNNGRY.
We got to the hotel after a 5 hour or so drive from Johannesburg. (I hate johannesburg...so dirty and dingy) What a long ride. We arrived at the hotel at 2:00pm and went for a quick dip and then at 3pm and we went on our first drive. Right out of the gate we saw deer and then we saw some girafes. I loved the girafes. So beautiful but not as tall as you might think. Then we drove for a while and didn't see anything. Then a few elephants came out of no where and then a leopard and then some really cool birds and then another dry spell...nothing. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A HEARD OF ELEPHANT THAT WERE FEEDING. One decided jumping up to get the leaves off the branches was to hard so he went and pushed the whole flippin tree down. What a sight to see I'm telling you. I loved and I have to be up for 5:30am tomorrow for another drive and the dinner bell just rang so thats my queue.
I miss you all. Mom I tried calling but didn't get through as you can read we are ok and made it out of crapy Jo'Burg.
MUAH MUAH MUAH!

P.S. sorry for the spelling I'm just so excited I'm ready to explode must go and talk to allan about what I saw!
