the stars shone bright... both day and night... (clap clap clap clap) deep in the heart of africa

or something like that. but i must start by commenting on the overwhelmingly beautiful night sky here in south africa. last night we camped at Kruger National park and since we were outside of the city there werent many lights around. this allowed the stars to shine so beautifully and brightly. you could clearly see the milky way and many amazing constellations. i could just stare at them all night.
