Today was an adventure. Liwande (another animal park) was where we went and it was a good two and a half hours away. And of course we left a little late. I went with Linut, Sidney, Joseph, and Alex. Nobody knew exactly how to get to it once we got close. So we kept asking for directions and ended up on this back back road. We're driving toward this bridge that no car should ever attempt to go over, so I figured we would be turning around. But oh no. We went zooming towards it and bottomed out the worst I have ever experienced in a vehicle. So after we got across (Praise God!), we got out to check out the car. Flat tire. Typical. Spare tire in the trunk with a four way tire iron that doesn't fit. Also typical. So we had a pump and pumped up the tire and kept driving. Somehow, Liwande was less than a mile away. As we pulled up to the gate, the Bethany team was pulling out. I flagged them down and it turned out that they had a tire iron that fit. Ambuwe di wabwino(the Lord is good)!
So we head in to the park finally. Lots of Impala, monkees, and other deer like animals. After maybe 30 or 40 mins, the guys in the car are ready to leave. I told them that we should drive in farther to see all of the elephants and hippos. Bethany just got done telling me that they saw a ton of them. But they wouldn't listen to me. It was very frustrating. So we left without seeing the cool animals. We went to this place across the river called Hippo View. Very nice place, but you couldn't really see the hippos unless you went out on a boat. And we didn't have the time or the money for that.
We got back super late of course, so we had to walk all of my stuff to my new host family's house in the dark. It wasn't too far so it was ok. Ellen has a very nice house with running water.
