So the team and I woke up at 4:30am to head to the Akagera National Park. The driver was early and sort of messed up our timing but we headed out anyway. Not even a half hour into driving, the front left tire to the jeep fell off. Apparently the driver took his jeep to a shop the night before and the mechanics didn't tighten the bolts enough. So we were stuck on the side of the road till he could find another jeep to pick us up again. So on so fourth, the safari was AMAZING!! I felt like a little kid at the zoo, but this zoo was a billion times better and didn't have cages! We saw all types of wild animals. Zebras, GIRAFFES, eagles, elephants, monkeys (the same kind that torchered Peter), water buffalo, hippos, antelope, and gazelles. Giraffes are my absolute favorite animal so when i saw them up close and personal, I pretty much freaked out! It was so cool! Anyway, the safari was the perfect way to end out trip. It has all been a blessing. And this whole experience will definitively be something i will never forget, and I appreciate being apart of it all greatly.
After our great adventure, we met up with Lisa and Dan and the group that just flew in. We got together at Heaven and enjoyed a joyful dinner together. It was a good time to meet new people and share some laughs. I ended up getting caught in a long conversation about drumming with Matt whom i just officially met today. I'm hoping he will be my future drumming teacher when he and the guys go back home from their trip. so exciting! All together today was the topping on the cake. I wouldn't have asked for more. Tomorrow is our last day in Rwanda, and i'm going to miss it greatly. I've met some of the most amazing humble beings on the planet and I definitely plan on keeping in touch with them for a long time. And maybe sometime soon God will call me to come back to Rwanda to be apart in helping these wonderful people live better, healthier lives. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. :)
