Slamming on the Brakes
Over the years, I have slammed on my brakes for various reasons. You know when you feel like the light goes straight from green to red and you never actually see the yellow or when someone stops in front of you quickly or pulls out in front of you. well, yesterday I added a whole new category of reasons to slam on the brakes. As we were driving out to one of the villages, we had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting a GIRAFFE! Yes, I am serious. Right there in the middle of the road just staring at us as if to say what are you doing on my road was a giraffe. We stopped within a foot of him and I could even see his big beautiful eyelashes. On both sides of the road were other giraffe just staring at us calmly probably wondering what kind of animal we are. Even a little baby giraffe came up to see what was going on. Can you believe it! I LIVE IN AFRICA!!! How insane! How amazing!
