Hiking in the savannah

Sunday we wanted to camp but we had to cancel. Instead we went hiking.

We saw different kinds of animals totally different from the one we saw in Bethesda.

First, we took a tour in a Safari van. We saw Giraffes, zebras, Roans (a kind of Antilope) and some wild pigs.

Then we ate lunch (a wild pig went very close to us, less than one yard !)

After eating we went hiking in the savannah and met some zebras, impalas and roans. We stopped at a lake, hoping to see crocodiles. We didn't see any. Maybe next time

Make your own badge

This week we have been working on our "Make your own badge" called the "Moving badge".
The requirements we invented are the following :
- say good bye to your friends
- carry your own luggages
- smile even when you are tired after the journey (:-)
- make your own bed with clothes and sleep on the floor.
- eat on the floor
- wash your clothes in the sink
- make new friends (but keep the older)

First meeting

Since we are in Paris until wednesday we went to the Eiffel tower to open the first meeting of the season. After the openings we decided the activity of the day : a field trip to the Tuilerie Garden (It's more a park than a garden).

As part of the "Find your way" patch we studied the Metro map. After that we took the metro to go to the Tuileries.

One of the activity we liked there was Poney riding. The other one is to play with sailing boat in the bassin at the center of the garden. To play you need a boat (3 feet long) and a stick. You put the boat on the water and push it with the stick. The wind makes it sail. You just need to go around the bassin and push the boat so it sails across the bassin.
