//**June 11**//-(thursday) I was taking a hike in the Savana, when i saw a pack of lions not too far from me. Took pictures with camera. Then put them on my diary cover. They were laying in the tall dead grass. I admiared them...a lion stands up looks at me and RAWRs. I walked away slowly. The weather is hot and humid but i must keep hat and long pants on for pertection.

//**June 12**-(friday)// As i passed Lake Victoria i felt the need to jump in and get all wet to cool off, but didn't for i must go on with my adventure. I was amazed by all the beautiful mountains ( Mt. Kenia, Mt. Donyo Sabuk, Mt. Ciswa, Mt. Nedele), plains, deserts,water bodies and forests. I stayed in hotels( not as nice as in the U.S., some very nice ). People wore light weight clothes, women sometimes wear bright colors. In the major cities people wear clothes like we do in america. The life expectancy in Uganda is 51 years for men and 52 years for women. About 77% of men can read and write, 63% of women can read and write.Per capita GDP of Uganda is 443,775 shillings.

Today, I bought a chair (made with peacok feathers and red wood)in Jinja Uganda and paid 5 rupees, or 65 cents, each.I would gladly have given 5 dollars each for them at Lake George. I also bought 150 bananas for 1 rupee. All were gone by the time i got to Lake Naivasha. The biggest exports are coffee, tea, corn, vegetables and fruit. Rice, machinery, paper products and wheat are some imports.

//**June 14**//-(sunday) I saw tons of animals and wildlife in Kenya. The hippos and crocodiles seemed to own the place but the elk, zebra, birds and monkeys still came to get a drink. Although sometimes it was the last. I took a lot of photos in Kenya, the nature and wildlife is just wounderful! The hillsides are great to see in the morning, its just so relaxing.

While I was traveling, I passed some plantations of coffee. I also passed feilds and feilds of vegetagles and fruits. Kenya has a poor economy, and has a lot of farms. The farmers still use traditional animals(oxen, cow, goats) instead of machinery That determines that it is developing. I went into town and saw a lot of people on the streets, plus kids begging for food and money.

I decided to rent a canoe and go down the Nile river. As I passed it, I saw houses on stilts and people washing their clothes in the river. Animals roamed around the river to get a drink or go fishing for food. I only traveled part of the Nile river because it is 4,184 miles long! That would be tiering!
