Today marks the third month that we have been on the road! Here, in no particular order, are 10 things that we have learned thus far:

1. How to set up and take down a tent in record time.

2. Toast prepared over a campfire is far superior to toast prepared in a toaster.

3. Fall in Southern Africa is much, much colder than you would ever expect.

4. An American accent sounds like chewing (or, at least, it does according to our waitress at Joe’s Beer House in Windhoek).

5. Vervet monkeys are surprisingly nimble grapefruit thieves.

6. Even though you might think the honey badger is a worldwide sensation, it is not. (Your enthusiasm for the honey badger is generally appreciated, even if not fully understood.)

7. If you visit Victoria Falls during early June, when the water is close to its highest point, you will not just get wet, you will get SOAKED.

8. How to make s’mores using a fork, pink marshmallows, and dark chocolate-dipped biscuits.

9. A group of giraffes is called a tower, and a group of warthogs is called a sound.

10. In Zimbabwe, US$2 bills are alive and well, if not of a very tired appearance that would quickly cause them to be put out of their misery and taken out of circulation in the United States.
