  Good fun at the Ostrich farm. Glad we didn’t get kicked with all the birds swirling around.

  Wow, you all rode ostriches! That takes a lot of guts, I’m impressed

    It was really, really funny. We all ride horses, Hannah and I more than John, so the balance thing was not too bad. It’s the most I’ve laughed in a long time. I stayed on for a while (I was the first person on from our tour group) and they let me just sort of run around after a bit. No control on where I was going though. That was up to the bird. Very Swiss Family Robinson, though…
