What was your most memorable moment?
Having a fantastic time, during extreme weather and high winds at the Wetlands area with Safka. It was raining, and sleeting, with occasional breaks in the weather. We saw many birds, and a pair of foxes. I started weeping; it was so beautiful, and so inspiring! Safka , our guide, gave me a warm hug to console me. This was the same day that five people died on the O circuit.
