We had a weekend getaway at a Rhino Sanctuary. Wow. We were standing like 15 -20 feet away from three huge rhinos. These rhinos have a guard with them all the time to prevent poaching. That makes them easy to find. We got to them after a 30 minute drive from our lodging and a 15 minute walk through the bush. In addition to seeing the rhinos which was a highlight, there were many other highlights including toilet seats, hot showers, spaghetti, quite and relaxing time to read.
Tonight it finally rained. Yay. Also, I watched the USA Brazil soccer game at Katharines restaurant. I was surprised at the amount of Acholi who were there watching the game. I felt a little awkard when I first arrived because I was the only female there. But, it was fun because everyone was really into the game. Too bad USA lost.
