Day 4 - A Zebra!!

Today was a day set aside for traveling. We spent 10 hours on our way to the southwest of Uganda to a district called Mbarra. However, the time went fast. I sat and talked and learned so much with Allen and Shamimu. They are wonderful. We stoped at the equater to take pictures and shop. We also stopped at a local restaurant with some not so westernized bathrooms. We also took about a two and a half hour detour to drive through a national park. We saw lots of animals, but never our main target, the zebra. Two of the MUBS students were really funny and kept yelling, "A Zebra!" We would all get excited and jump to one side of the bus to find a couple of gazelles or warthogs staring at us. We got to see the crested Crane, Uganda's equivelent to our bald eagale. It was beautiful! We also passed many types of villages we had not seen yet. It is so fun to wave at all the people who just stare at us.. the kids are a blast! We are spending four nights now in the Lake Side Hotel.
