And now I still need to write about my Sipi Falls weekend, which was beautiful and relaxing!
But I don't want that to stop me from posting, so I wanted to quickly say that I went white water rafting on the Nile this weekend!! The source of the White Nile is in Jinja, Uganda (comes from Lake Victoria), which is only a couple hours away from where we live. I was rather apprehensive about going, but was willing to join my fellow interns, and I'm really glad that I did. I had a really fun time, and never quite thought I was going to die, even when I was sucked under the rapids and tossed around for a while before coming up grasping for air (several times). That was actually all a "normal" part of the experience, and I definitely enjoyed myself. The Nile itself was also extremely beautiful, as we were surrounded by green trees and bushes and all sorts of birds. I'll post some pictures soon!
