So Rebecca and I escorted Kate up to the airport this week. Her flight didn’t leave until late at night so we spent all day in Entebbe goofing around. We went to the Entebbe Zoo and got this beautiful view of Lake Victoria. We saw amazing animals. I went on a Safari last time I was here and it was fantastic, but this came in a close second. The Safari allowed you to see animals in the wild, but you only saw them if they were around. This zoo had every exotic animal Africa has to offer and you could see them up close and personal.
We had an adrenaline rush with the Lions. The male and female were mating and the male started to get upset that all these tourists were watching, so he came up to the fence and started to growl (not a roar unfortunately, but a growl). Kate and I were watching from behind the crowd and Rebecca was far in the distance. We noticed the only thing keeping these lions in was a chain linked fence… yes like the ones at baseball diamonds….not very secure.
Then the lion kept growling and soon enough he made a lung towards the fence with the crowd of people behind it. Everyone jumped back and screamed and Kate and I looked at Rebecca only to find her sprinting down the hill with one other lady. They were booking it as fast as they could. Even after everyone realized the threat was over, Rebecca and this lady were still running. Kate and I were laughing so hard and Rebecca didn’t stop running until she was out of site.
Really, how can I blame her though, I truly think that lion could get out if it wanted to. It’s gotta be stronger than a chain linked fence….frightening.
This other picture is of the group of us all together. This is our only group picture…..unreal, why didn’t we take more? Anyways, now Kate is gone and Alex and Rebecca leave next week…tear.
So much more has happened, I apologize for not blogging as often I should.
And to my love, this video from Kymbi. He misses you….you were so good to that boy.
