Remember The Time We Rafted The Nile?

Wow!  I have been here for almost a week and a half. Crazy how the time goes by quickly and the days blend together.

Last week we went river rafting down THE Nile river!  It was amazing!  A bus picked us up from Lugazi and took us to where we would be rafting.  We had to go through some safety things and get helmets and life jackets and also get breakfast which was a chapati omelet and some fruit.  (chapati is some kind of bread/pita thing)  We finally got to where we would be getting into the river.  They all talked me into riding in the safety boat so I wouldn't get banged around too much and hurt my neck.  We took easier paths down the river and didn't tip over or anything.  We got to eat glucose biscuits (cookies) and pineapple on the way down the river.  The pineapple here is amazing!  So juicy.  

Ready to get started.

I switched with someone in a different boat and went down the last rapid.  The guides tried to talk me out of it and said that I wasn't allowed to cry.  I didn't.

We pulled the boat out of the water and got some dinner.  Baked potatoes and green beans and REAL butter!!  Such a good day.  I would do it again.

The scenery all reminded me of The Lion King but without all the animals.  So beautiful.

It was raining on the way home and the roads were all flooded and basically rivers.
