WE WENT AND HIKE THE ANCIENT CAVES IN THE AFRICAN MOUNTAINS. IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT THEY WERE USED FOR MANY YEARS AGO. 
THOSE BOOTS ARE THE ONES THAT “BOSS” (THAT’S WHAT HE TOLD US TO CALL HIM) OUR GUIDE WORE. HIS SON HAD ON FLIP-FLOPS AND HE WAS RUNNING DOWN WHILE WE WERE ALL HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!
ANYONE SEEN LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE? OUR VAN BROKE DOWN ON THE WAY HOME FROM MOLE. IT'S A LONG STORY, BUT THE MAIN POINT IS THAT WE HAD TO PUSH THE VAN UP A HILL...TWICE!! THE SPEEDOMETER WAS BROKEN, THE HORN WAS BROKEN, WE COULDN'T TURN RIGHT, AND IT WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR. OH WELL, JUST ADDS TO THE FUN OF THE TRIP!
WE WENT ON A SAFARI IN MOLE NATIONAL PARK. IT WAS SOOOOO COOL. IT WAS A WALKING SAFARI AND THE ELEPHANT IN THAT PICTURE WAS ABOUT 5 YARDS AWAY. OUR GUIDE WAS AN OLD GUY CARRYING AN OLD TIME GUN, I FELT REALLY SAFE THOUGH. I ALSO GOT TO SEE BUSHBUCK, WATERBUCK, WARTHOGS, BABOONS, AND ELEPHANTS (THE BEST PART). FUN TIMES!
THIS IS AT THE ORPHANAGE. THESE LITTLE KIDS WERE SO HAPPY JUST TO HAVE PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH. I ALSO WANTED TO TAKE A COUPLE OF THESE KIDS HOME. LOOK AT THESE FACES!
i ALSO GOT TO GO TO A mONKEY sANCTUARY, A pOTTERY fACTORY, A bEAD fACTORY, sLAVE cASTLES, A cANOPY wALK, lISTEN tO aUTHENTIC MUSIC, sEE cHILDREN dANCING, gO TO THE maRKET, HAVE eWE lESSONS, AND oBSERVE AN hERBALIST. hE WAS AN iNTERESTING MAN WHO BELIEVED tHAT ALL WOUND COULD BE hEALED THROUGH PUTTING A pUTTY sUBSTANCE AND lEAVES ON IT. iT WAS cRAZY AND i DON'T tHINK iT WORKED aT ALL! cROSS cULTURAL sOLUTIONS reALLY MAKES sURE yOU ARE lEARNING ALL aBOUT THE cULTURE 
wHILE YOU ARE IN THE cOUNTRY.
WE TOOK SOME CRAYONS AND PAPER TO COLOR WITH THE KIDS IN THE CHILDREN'S WARD. A DIFFERENT DAY WE TOOK PAPER FLOWERS, STRAWS, AND STRING TO MAKE LEIS WITH THEM. THEY WERE SO EXCITED AND GOT BIG SMILES WHEN WE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR. THE OLDER KIDS WERE MAKING LEIS FOR THE LITTLE KIDS AND PASSING THEM OUT, IT WAS REALLY CUTE TO SEE HOW WILLING THEY WERE TO GIVE! IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
