Hey everyone!! So the trip is going good so far... our first day we saw rhinos, giraffes, african buffalo and cows, lots of birds, and baboons and monkeys. No lions or and big cats yet, but that's ok... I sill have lots of time. Our first night we stayed in a national park camping. That was a little nerve-wracking... we didn't see any lions but they are out there! Then we stayed in a campground for one night. And now we are here in Uganda for 3 nights.

The campground is cool though, they always have bars, pools, little shops and proper showers. And you can upgrade from camping to a proper room but we just pitch our tents on the grass. Last night we got here and all got a little silly in the bar.. ha ha didn't go to bed until 4. There was an Irish band playing all night, so it was weird. The bar looks out over a cliff to the White Nile river. I can't even describe the view! There is a white and a blue nile that connect here in Uganda to form the Nile river, that runs all the way through Egypt to the red sea. It's the only major river that runs from south to north in the world. Pretty cool! It was weird getting drunk in a bar in Uganda, looking over the nile river, listening to an Irish band!! HA HA!!

Tomorrow we are going white water rafting down the Nile and the whole thing is either level 4 or 5!!! Woop woop!! It's going to be nuts. Then the day after we head to another town called Kampala, then shortly after that off to seek out the gorillas in the jungle!!

It's stinking hot again... but I'm surviving. Would love to do my hair for once, and maybe put on makeup, but no girls do sooo I fit in at least. lol!!

Miss you all!! Probrably won't be able to write until next week or weekend sometime so don't worry if you don't hear.. I will just be in the middle of nowhere for a while.

Love you all!! Missing everyone tons!!
