14 June - Akagera

Another early morning! We left for Akagera, in the Eastern Province to go on a safari. Our driver was really awesome, and he let us play music on the way to the park. 
On the safari, we saw so many different wildlife. My favorite was the hippos. Least favorite? Easily the tsetse fly. Those bites HURT! We stopped for lunch (fruit and sandwiches) and a halfway point and then drove back. There are so many zebra there, and we saw an elephant in the water (I think it knew Molly was coming. Elephants are her favorite). 
The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The downside? Baboons. I am grateful my fear gave others so much laughter this week. I am fine never seeing these deadly creatures again in my life. 
Dinner was wonderful. Solange, our guide, taught me some more words to pepper into conversations, and then after dinner we set up a little dance floor and had some fun dancing to salsa and bachata for the night. 
I am going to miss this country, and it will be sad going back tomorrow.
