Day 18 (July 28, 2009)

HANNAH'S BIRTHDAY 2 WEEKS TILL MINE!

We started today early again! It will be so exciting to sleep when I get home. But we finished packing, had breakfast, played outside, then the 25 and up group of people left for a sight visit and Ethan, Dax, Alexa, Greg, my self and Moses (our driver) went to find a FedEx or DHL to ship drums back for Greg and Alexa and after at least 3 hours we were finally on the road to to the Gorilla's Nest! The whole drive was up and then down a mountain but for the most part it was all paved which made it so nice. Plus it was nice to hang out with people my age! We got to the hotel and raced to the bathroom (I don't pee in bushes and there were people or villages the whole way up anyways) we saw our rooms and finally ate lunch at like 4 pm breakfast was hours ago... Then we all put on warmer clothes because it was much cooler here! And we went for a walk and we saw a lot of kids playing soccer so we went and talked to them and got a lot of emails address from the boys (they kept asking me to email them pictures of me...) And Ethan and the kids found frogs, and ran around it was very cute. We met some really nice and smart boys who I hope can reach their dreams. We then walked back to the hotel to get drinks and wait for the African Dancers to come! It was so cool to watch them dance and we even got to dance with them. Then it was dinner and bed time ready for another early day tomorrow!
