Zebras, Monkeys and Antelope

So you know when you are really bored on a friday afternoon. Well that is how i was yesterday. But here instead of sitting inside and wishing it wasn't blizzarding or going on a run, we decided to head over to Queen Elizabeth Park, a Nature Reserve on the other side of town.

We got there by taxi and realized we only had about two hours until the park closed (things close rediculously early around her) and got out and decided to take one of the trails around the area. Before we even got on to the trail we saw the tree rustle and something jump. A MONKEY!


Then once we got on the trail we walked for a while and saw nothing. I was thrilled to have just seen a monkey and it was a beautiful area until we rounded a corner and i heard a gasp.














And now you know why. We got so close to these three zebras just eating grass in a field. Only in Africa. I about peed my pants, i don't know what is going to happen when i see a rhino or something scary because my heart was beating a thousand times a minute from peacefull zebras. (i know these pictures look fake, like i got them online or something, but you got to believe me).
