Ostrich Revenge…

February 11, 2010 By Jillian

Words can’t really express what it was like to ride an ostrich…

although some of us are better than others…

get kissed by an ostrich (evidence of danny’s fidelity, haha)..

get a neck massage by an ostrich….

And so you see we had our revenge, of sorts, on the ostrich which attacked me in Swaziland.聽 Take that flightless bird!

About Jillian

I'm an adventurer and a fun loving spirit. I'll do almost anything once for the experience, well within reason. I love mountain biking, hiking and swimming. I compete in adventure races, but I'm also a complete nerd and love to read. I try to live my life without regrets, in the words of Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "

    Love the vids! Far out work. I imagine it’s really tough to keep your balance on those bipedal racers. Are there people that can actually ride them recreationaly? Do they eat ostrich in SA?

    Take more vids is my vote. I’m a huge fan!

      @Blake- you can definitely eat ostrich in ZA. It’s delicious when prepared right. Apparently there is actually ostrich racing- but geez I wouldn’t want to do it! We’d love to put up more vids but internet access is a huge problem and it takes tooo long to upload them. 馃檨

      @Mom Tobias- Your son is traveling around the world kissing other women! 馃檪 (Maybe I encouraged this one just to get a video…. 馃檪 )

    LOVE these videos! And, even better that Jillian rides better than Danny!

      Just for the record Alyson, Jillian was below the weight limit….I shouldn’t have been riding 馃檪
