While our group was in Uganda, we would be asked about Obama almost daily. But since our arrival in Rwanda, our President's name is rarely meantioned....until yesterday. This Rwandan named Oscar made the best remark I have ever heard: "So, do you know what Obama stands for? It stands for:
Obama
Born in
Africa to
Move to
America
The above picture was from our adventure through Nyungwe National Park. We were all given these regal-looking walking sticks to aid us in our six hour trek through the rain forest. We were told that the only animals living in this forest are the 7 or 8 types of monkeys. Our hopes were high to see some primates but we must have been too loud because we only heard one from a distance.
Although, we DID see some amazing tropical birds. Their colors were beautiful. I thought the vibrant reds and blues that these birds flashed were colors only man could make.
Next weekend there is a planned trip to another national game park where we will be able to see some African mammals.
