Invisible Children Day 2.

Today I woke up at 5:00 with jetlag, but it was a good thing I did because the kids didn't sleep much later themselves. After breakfast, we went to my car, and I drove out of town. A whole hoard of kids ran after us and were holding on to the fender and the windows. Namono, Akiki, and Nabulungi were shouting and laughing with all the kids, and we left town in a happy mood. Around thirty minutes later, we stopped in the middle of the wilderness because an elephant had walked across our path. The kids thought it was mildly interesting, but I was facinated. That facination turned to fear when it came right up to the car, reached in with its trunk, and stole the aple I'd been eating! I was scared stiff when her trunk rubbed against me. it was scratchy and rough, but amazing. By the time we were moving again, the kids started laughing at the face I made when it came up to us. I couldn't help it, I started laughing too. We took the rest of the day to look for birds and antelope in the game reserve we were in, and were surrised to see a Gabon Viper in the road right in front of us. We all got scared and drove away quickly. It was the evening by the time we got to the kids village, and it was Akiki's house we came upon first. He jumped out of the car and ran inside, and we heard the wails of his mother and father when they saw him. Pretty soon it seemed that the whole village had come to see us, and I was showered in thanks and hugs from the mothers and fathers of the kids. Namono and Nabulungi's family was still sad though, because of their lost brother, but the mood got lighter when they invited me to dinner with them. We had sweet potatoes and roast chicken in a type of spicy tomato sauce. We were all happy an full, and we went to bed happy, I stayed in Akiki's home. It was a really great day.
