Feeding Giraffe

Mombasa has an animal park called Haller Park.  One of the big draws at this park is the afternoon giraffe feeding!  You don't watch them being fed, you feed them!  A giraffe has a surprisingly long and surprisingly grey tongue.
Lots of fun and new experiences before we headed off to the village of Taru to begin our 2 weeks of work! 
My new friend and roommate Carolyn enjoyed it too! 
Feeding them was fun but it was even better to give some of the food to the school children who were there on a field trip.  I'm sure they have shared many stories of the white people who bought them giraffe food. 
I didn't know that giraffe sat down like this.  Our safari driver said that this is how they sleep.  I would love to see how quickly they can get up from this position.
