Over the spring break at ISU, Johnjoe, one of my mom's old friends, and his 15 year old son Ollie decided to take a vacation to Uganda from the UK. While they were here, we were able to take multiple safari drives in Queen Elizabeth and the two of them and matt, dad, and myself went rafting on the Nile. Even though all of this is old stuff that we have done and seen before, Johnjoe and Ollie were mesmerized by the animals and activities that are simply not available in the UK. On the Queen Elizabeth trip, we were able to see many of the main animals that they wanted to: Baboons, cool birds, chimpanzees, water buffalo, alligators, hippos, and cob (similar to deer). However, we weren't able to see some very interesting animals such as giraffes, zebras, gorillas, or any cats (lions, leopards, cheetahs, etc.) Even we haven't seen any cats here! I wish we would! Anyways, then we took the same rafting trip as the first time that dad and I went. This was with the other 5 father-son couples. It was just as fun as I remembered, and is still one of my favorite things to do here.
This will probably be the last post until summer so see you then.
