So on Sunday we loaded up and headed off toward Somalia. Before you get to Somalia there's an animal refuge that supports African wildlife. The refuge has baboons, ostrich, cheetahs, an eagle, a falcon, wild asses, gazelles, turtles, a zebra and some other cats.
The landscape is free from trash and looks more like I would expect the country to be. I never thought I'd be inclined to stick my hand in a cheetah's fence but they were like big housecats. It was good to get away from the base and see something a little more authentic over here.
That's really cool that you were able to pet the cheetah. What an experience I'm sure! If I can get close enough to Fidel I may try to pet him too! :)
