Rwanda

hey,

So I know its been a while since my last post, but ill be honest im starting to get somewhat lazy with trying to find internet and dealing with the slow service. ....

Anyways, we have just arrived in Rwanda today. I'm finding it hard to believe that after all that I have read and watched about this place and the events of 1994, that I am actually here in Kigali. So far, my first impression of this country is that it is incredibly beautiful. There are rolling hills everywhere, and lush fields. I'll let you know more about this place after I have experienced the trek to find the gorrillas and visit the many memorials, and after I visit the safe part of the congo.

Overall I had a great time in Uganda. Did a lot of activities, the highlight of course was rafting the nile. Oh man, it was insane. Our raft tipped mutiply times, the scariest was when we tipped off the 8ft waterfall. But we all survived and although it seemed like forever when you where pulled under the rapids, it didn't last longer then 10 seconds.

We also went up north to murchinson falls where we did another safari (not as many animals as tanzania, but the lanscape was magnificant) and spent some time sitting over some gignatic and forceful falls.

Oh and we tried to change our flight out of Egypt, but we can't. So this means we are now sticking to our initial plan of going to egypt and flying home on april 26th.

Hope all is well with everyone, I have to make this one short because im running out of time, but i'll definately keep you posted on my experience in rwanda, as I believe it will be something else.
