A Day With Kat

Yesterday Kat Combes the CEO of the Conservancy took a friend of hers and I on a tour of Soysambu for some fun. It turned out to be the whole day though, which is fine because plans change constantly here so I went in with no expectations except for some hopes to see the shy Colobus Monkey. We drove to the headquarters for lunch but we took the long way in order to see more game and we DID. We saw a troop of 8 Colobus Monkeys when we passed through the Acacia forest. I was so happy. Then we drove around and saw the regular wildlife that I have already seen plenty of. After lunch at Kat's place we drove to her close friend Juliette's house where we chatted, had tea, and went for a nice walk. Luckily we missed the rain. Then we drove a bit and visited Gram and Yoyo's house another group of friends at Soysambu. There we ate a little bit and then talked about the conservancy. After this we drove back through the dark to the research center at night. O and I forgot to tell you earlier in this blog that we found a dead impala by the research center (unsure what the cause of death was) and we had to carry its gross dead body to the truck then we had to carry it again to a pit where dead animals go. Otherwise things are great here and my time here is unfortunately winding down so that is a bit disappointing.
