Chicken riding!

This is the before shot....

Figured my Canadian pastiness could stand to use a little sun, poolside at the Old Boma in Mikindani, with a good book and some real coffee.  I really wasn't long under that African sun, but the discomfort around supper time made me regret it.  Today I'm sneaking from shadow to shadow, and rehydrating with the air con on max.  I won't offer any post-photos. 

The monkeys were out in force, providing plenty of entertainment.  While I was in the pool, one monkey dropped onto one of the many chickens walking about, and the monkey is screeching and feathers are flying everywhere, and eventually the chicken broke free, and the monkey disappeared into the brush.  The chicken continued strutting around clucking seriously pissed off while we wondered if the monkey was actually intending to eat it or was just trying to take it for a ride.

Missed out on a medevac flight.  There's so little flying here, the crews fight over who gets to go when something pops up, but it was well inside of the day crew's hours of responsibility.  I watched in envy as they flew overhead headed out to the rig a little while later....
