Adventures!

Wowza!

So much has happened already and we have only been here for not even a week yet. Im so glad this trip is not going by too fast, I want to soak it all in. I absolutely love it! The people are so inviting and friendly, that could be because we are white and stick out like a sore thumb! My favorite thing by far this trip was hiking in the Gishwati forest! I had no idea what we were going to be upagainst until we were in the thick of it. Pouring down rain the entire time made the experience that much more exciting! As Ben Beck would say, "You can't get wetter than wet". Once we were soaked and muddy you couldn't get much more soaked and muddier than we already were. Hiking to the waterfall, crossing rivers, holding huge worms and trying to gracefully slip down the muddy hills was great. I could do that all day! The scenery was beautiful. Later that night we got to play outside the research station with the neighboring kids of the village. We sang and danced to their songs as well as some of our songs. There really are no words for how amazing of a time it was to spend with all them, as well as some of the parents who joined in too.
I am having a great experience and would not give it up for anything!
