Oct. 13 - Loooonnnnggg Ride!


Forgot to mention that the last night we spent in Karamoja we saw the most amazing shooting star.  It was the brightest one we’ve ever seen, you could actually see the meteor, and it went across at least half the sky.  Another demonstration of God’s power and sense of beauty.

This was the first day of our “mini-safari”.  Most of the day was spent driving from Kampala to Queen Elizabeth Park.  The principal lakes in Queen Elizabeth are Albert and George.  Farther north is Lake Albert.  Gee – wonder where they got the names?  Saw some cool stuff along way: African Kob, an antelope and the national mammal of Uganda; Grey Crowned Crane, the national bird of Uganda; Water Buck; Water Buffalo; Warthog; Baboons and a variety of birds.  Had the nicest shower we’ve had since leaving Val’s house in Soroti – a hot solar shower at Simba Safari Camp.  After dinner we are ready to retire to our tent for the night.
