What does veld mean? Does it mean "field?" It sounds like you're having a lot of fun! Don't break any bones this time! ;D And remember to keep us posted! <3

Veld is the name for the African bush. It's not Savanna, because it's not open plains, it's not Serengetti because that's in Kenya, and it's a biome of thorn trees and brush and shrub and long grasses. So it's called the "veld". It's probably Afrikans for "field". :)

...honestly, haven't finished reading, but I'm glad you got there safely after quite an adventure! I'm sure things are stressful now, but just think how awesome it is you survived it! You're definitely a stronger person for it!

Hope you're having an amazing time!

On a random note, I'm watching a documentary called Dragons or Dinosaurs. WHen you're back stateside, you should check it out. I think you'll really like it.

No problem. It is a lot to read...I'll only be able to make long posts probably on weekends, if that, because internet is so spotty here. But yeah that documentary does sound interesting...I'll have to check it out for sure!
