Friday April 4th

The rainy season has been taking a break as of late and the dry season is being its substitute. I just hope that this warm and not rainy weather continues for the safari on Sunday and Monday, but a little rain to cut the heat sounds really good right about now.

I took the team to the New Hope's vocational institute, which is located about 3 kilometers from Kasana. Even though they do a lot of walking back home, I wanted them to experience the distance that is traveled by many of the students everyday. And for some, the journey is even much farther. 3 kilometers really isn't that far, but in the pouring and cold rain or the scorching hot sun, it makes for quite the adventure of endurance.

Today as I was walking back to the office, in the middle of the path was a bright green chameleon. I have seen them while at Murchison Falls, but never at Kasana. Its bright green body actually shocked me to take a step back and freeze for an instant. I stared at this one-foot long, green creature and was so fascinated at the way that it made its way across the footpath. It would take one step, somehow rock back and forth after the step, and then finally take another step. It's as if it couldn't decide if it really wanted to move forward make its way across. Every step forward seemed to take much concentration and motivation.

Sunday, I will be hosting my second safari, but it will be the first time hosting one alone. With so much responsibility, the nerves are definitely there, but so is the excitement.

As I am nodding off while typing this, I don't think it is too smart to write something that goes on the internet while not being totally with it.

Until later....
