One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was working with a mobile clinic in Malawi, I took a holiday for a couple days and went on a safari in Zambia. The first night I was there I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of rustling leaves outside my tent. I unziped the front of my tent and low and behold, there was a huge Bull Elephant eating 6 inches from my tent. My heart was pounding so hard because I didn't want to freak out and scare him. I knew he could hear my heartbeat too--they have such huge ears-- but I just kept my cool and watched him graze and eat for the next couple hours. It was amazing to be able to observe him in that setting.
