and guess what we did!

This is an email that my dad sent my mother last week as we were trying to make plans:

Subject: FW: Communication from website - Age restrictions for the Nile Rafting

Carol,

Here is the adventure Erica has cooked up for us all - rafting on class 5 rapids at the head of the Nile! Sounds exciting? Hold on - it gets even better. It includes a 10 hr Kenyan/Ugandan cultural immersion/excursion (2 times) at no additional cost. Others would refer to this as simply a "bus ride" but little do they know that the more adventuresome have mastered Swahili, built diplomatic bridges, solved world hunger and brought entire villages to Christ on such excursions. Somewhat frequent stops are made in route to collect input from local villages with a census conducted of the local sanitization infrastructure, if one exists. Our evening accommodations at the Nile include dormitory style housing for the princely sum of $7/night. Smell the aroma of adventure? Equipped with a little Imodium this trip holds no bounds. We would be accompanied by another RVA family the whole way - doubling our pleasure and providing witnesses to validate our adventure as true to fact.

In short, 10 hr bus ride to Uganda, overnight in dormitory style housing, although I did see tent city as well, rafting all day (awaiting confirmation Elyse will be accepted due to age limit - was done just last week), another night, then return 10 hour trip. Price is inclusive of the "nicer" bus fare, over night accommodations, rafting, and Uganda visa (US dollars no older than year 2000 - got that covered already).

In or out? Sounds like fun and many memories.

Love Scott

So the final decision? You'll just have to wait until the next post to find out!! We've been having such a great time here in Kenya, I'm so thankful for my family's visit! The internet has been worse than normal so blogging been impossible, but I heard it should be better soon. Cross your fingers- more pictures coming your way!
