Today is our 5th day in Uganda. It is pretty exciting that we finally
adventured out to Coffee at Last place right down the road from our house. We needed to get out of the house and
adventure around the town that we live in.
The last few days have felt like a total dream. We went to Lake Mburo for a safari trip. We had a drive through the national park and
saw zebras, bushbucks, and black faced monkeys.
Then we took a boat ride around the lake and were able to view a wide variety
of birds, hippos, crocodiles, and a water buffalo. After the boat ride, we sat down and were
able to relax before our night safari.
We were on the lookout for leopards.
Dr. Bryan’s friend said that he knew of a leopard and her baby near the
lake. All of us were hoping to see the
baby leopard. The first animal that we
saw was a hippo out of the water. Of
course I took a picture even though it did not turn out very well. Then after what felt like forever we spotted
the leopard. I was able to capture the
moment in a picture but everyone was so excited, the driver, our tour guide,
and of course all of us girls. After we
saw the leopard, everyone was ready to go and get some dinner.
The resort that we stayed in was amazing. It was called the Eagle’s Nest and the staff
was so amazingly nice. The food was
delicious and so was the view.
Everything about the trip just seemed surreal. I mean, I went on a safari in Uganda. I’m still thinking about how in the world I
got this lucky to come and experience this life.
Last night, we went out for a night on the town. Natalie picked us up from Claire’s and we
went to a very delicious dinner. Then we
went to a few dance clubs. The first one
that we went to made Brittney and I a little uncomfortable. I think Natalie and Paul could sense that so
we went to another place and there we felt like we were home. There was a wide variety of people and it was
a lot of fun.
Today, we are spending the day with Natalie and exploring
more of the city. I’m so excited and I
really look forward to staying.
