yesterday (day 8) was the first day we got any rain.

there was a very quick sunshower when we first got to the cliff pool- we ducked into the african sunrise hut. i felt bad about that, because it was occupied, but it's 3 levels and we were just briefly huddled in the bottom, which is a dirt floor area, with a ladder that leads to the living area.

when it rained much harder a few hours later, we packed up, huddled in african sunrise for a few minutes then dashed to our tree house.

there are all of these really beautiful, huge black sea birds that spend the day gliding in the sky. i haven't seen a one of them actually flap their wings.
