Raw Footage of Africa - Part II - The Conclusion

This is the follow-up to Watching Raw Footage of My Parents' Trip to Africa While Using Their Wireless to Write This. It is the following night, and I am typing this on the couch, sitting next to my parents as we watch the last half of the raw footage from their trip to Africa.

There is a lot of down-time, and my parents don't mind me typing; though they sometimes they look over with a "how many freakin' emails is he going to write?" look. You know the one. -KV

Things Learned from the last half of the Africa Video:

-Hippos really are hungry hungry.

-Victoria Falls is loud.

-Putting the camera in a plastic sack sometimes doesn't prevent it from getting wet.

-Monkeys like hotels lawns.

-Cape Town is Disneyland with way more black people.

-Tourists like to watch dancing.

-When it's summer in California, it is winter in South Africa.

-It is easy to leave the camera on and not know it.

-Nelson Mandela spent some time in prison.

-Gondola's with VISA on the side look just like the ones in the VISA commercials.

-Animals NOT seen on safari are far less impressive.

-French people know a lot about wine and cheese (don't ask)

-For twenty dollars you can pet the baby cheetahs.

-It's going to take a computer with a large hard drive to edit this video.
