Jungle Camping Photos












The first picture is of me when we went on the jungle camping trip. Mr B took us to a village that could use some of the supplies we had brought to Nepal with us. They crowded around us and we gave them a volleyball and school supplies and a big bag of medical stuff. They were so happy. We were going to dispense the medical stuff to individuals but there were so many of them and they just kept coming and coming that we decided to give the stuff to the village social club to deal with. We got some great people shots there. The next picture is of an elephant watch tower. Wild elephants can do a lot of damage to their crops and homes and even kill people. My friend has a theory that elephants have a collective memory and can remember everything humans have done to them and that's why they rampage like this. The tower is to warn the village if they're coming.
The net picture is of Beel ( kind of like bill but you say and e sound) who lives and works at Mr B's. A fine young man and a good cook, you can see he and Chutram cooking in one of the shots.
There we were on the bank of the river in case elephants roar by so we could escape down the bank and what did we find within close proximity to our cap but tiger prints! A female tiger checked us out while we were sleeping.
