I am sitting here by the fire pit, trying to warm up after a freezing shower. It's quiet as can be except for the bird calls and the wind rustling the trees and it just occurred to me that this is the first time I've been alone in 5 weeks. Sylvia and all the staff have gone home for the evening, there are no other volunteers here tonight. It's just me out here in the forest in the middle of nowhere. I have to admit, I'm kinda loving it!
Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I will be taking some of the orphaned baby chimps for a "bush walk" to get their little muscles moving and growing. Can't wait!
