Water Buffalo!

Our van hit a water buffalo last night. Actually, it may not have been a water buffalo, but it was huge and it pretty much demolished the front of our van and then took off into the woods seemingly unfazed. We were all exhausted and were heading back to the hotel after work when it happened. We spent the next three hours on the side of the road out in the middle of nowhere waiting for another van to come pick us up. Luckily, somehow, nobody was hurt. The toughest thing was escorting the girls across the road when nature called. The trucks and buses out on these rural roads are ruthless. Sitting there for three hours we saw two more close calls when more "water buffalos" tried to cross the street as well. When we finally made it home, a few of the more hardy souls still managed to make it out for dinner and drinks. After that experience, we really needed it.
