Default The setting

Since I moved out of the house without even getting married <gasp!> my father goes well out of his way to make sure that we are spending time together. While I don't like his old idea that a woman can not be left without a man to watch over her, I do appreciate that he cares. On this particular outing we were going to an elephant sanctuary. This is special for us because when I was younger we could see elephants from our family home and we would follow them together. The city has grown so large that it has swallowed up our mudzi and there are no longer elephants there and it has been a long time since we went elephant watching together. When we set off I knew that I would be excited by the elephants, but I did not know that I would be excited by other things.

The sanctuary had been poorly run for years by our government. They made the news reels for something to do with how to sell ivory and apparently it was a big deal. So then an Australian man entered the picture, raised a bunch of money, and the government passed him the whole operation. He had only been running things for a few months but already it looked different than how we we usually do things. I know a lot about elephants from having spent so many hours watching but I still learned so much. Now I'm eager to talk about elephants! But I know that's not what you are here for so I'll refrain but I will highlight one detail that is at least partly relevant to this forum. It's about the tour guides. There was a guy and a gal who walked our group through and they were both stunning and super fun to be around. I've seen quite a few Americans but never met an Australian and I fell in love with the accent. She was especially striking with very light hair that was all tightly pulled into a single neat braid. I was jealous that I could never do that. Usually I find that the very blonde girls have skin that is disturbingly light but hers was beautifully colored by the sun. I was jealous of everything about her! Well perhaps not the bum, she is a white girl after all (that's meant to be a joke, please don't read to much into it). There were only eight of us on the tour so there was plenty of time for me to chat with both of them and I love how much fun they looked like they were having at work. This would be an awesome job. I would discover later that there were more beautiful people imported for my viewing pleasure.
