Safari Day!!! We drove the 2.5 hrs to Kipedo National Park and were lucky enough to see warthogs, antelope (they run like bunnies!), water buck, water buffalo, giraffes, baboons and even a herd of elephants! It is truly beautiful here and the vegetation seems much more lush than the Kotido area. It was a bit of a culture shock today at the lack of chivalry here at times but perhaps we are just tired and our behinds too sore from so much four-wheeling with the Land Cruiser in the bush. :/

Rest day! A day to relax was much needed so we attended Christ Church of Uganda in the morning (2.5 hrs of it...) and then had lunch with Brenda before heading to the market in Kotido. We picked up lots of beautiful wraps we had been seeing all over town and other homemade goodies. We rested in the evening with beers and reflected on our trip so far. We have been so so busy it had been hard to process it all. I still cannot believe I am here! Around 6pm we were starved so we all begged our host Charles to make us chipati (thick crepes) and French fries. We are all starting to get a bit homesick and are really starting to miss the variety of food at home since rice, beans, and eggplant (delicious!) have been our staple diet here. Oh how I miss cheese!
