Update #8 East Africa

JAMBO!!
It’s Hope:)

Well this day was packed full with tons of things but I’ll try and keep it short;) Our day started with a very early Safari ride through the Serengeti, where we got the treat of seeing a pride of lions chasing a hyena and a buffalo. Plus, many more elephants, zebras, ostriches, and thankfully, some giraffes (an answer to Lauren’s prayers) The sunrise was gorgeous over the savanna and mountains. After a beautiful beginning of the day, we then spent the rest of the morning hanging out on the patio playing card games and reading until lunch.

After the most delicious lunch, we packed up and started the drive back to the airport. The drive started with lots of singing and talking but quickly turned into a sleep fest. We stopped for dinner at a Coffee Lodge 2 hrs later, where we hung out for a while, stalling time till our flight.

The last leg of the car ride was filled with much more singing and an amazing view of the sunset and the stars. We made it to the airport around 8 and said goodbye to our most amazing driver who somehow put up with us this whole week. Our next flight will take us to the coast of Africa! where we can’t wait to meet so many more amazing girls.

Continue to keep us in your prayers as we meet our new friends tomorrow!

WAHELI!

-Hope

(P.S. Mom, the food here is so much better than home, that I think I’m a changed person 😉)
