Lions, Flamingos, and Orangutangs, oh my!

Yes I went on Safari. Yes it was cool. Yes you weren't there...haha. Just kidding. Wish you all had been. Check out my pics. they are pretty good for how far away the animals were. Some of the animals were really close to the side of the road like the zebras and lions. I was sad that I didn't see any giraffes in the crater, but I saw them on the way out! There is a lot I could say about tourism and the economy and the pros and cons, but I'll save that for a later date.

The coolest part of the whole day was the morning as we were descending into the crater. There was this foggy mist that hung over the edge of the trees and the rim of the crater. A specific passage came to mind. See it quoted below and then I can explain the relevance.

Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

The clouds hovering over the crater made me wonder what the earth looked like during the creation process. It would have been a sight to see. God said and it happened. Pretty nifty.
