These giants surprised us on our way to the airport from Yumbe. What incredible animals.		This mural was painted by Artolution, a group bringing brightness and splashes of color into Bidi Bidi
These mangos are as big as my head. And I do not have a small head.	We celebrated a 21st birthday with 21 mangoes... naturally.	This is the largest "loaf" of atapa I have ever tried to consume (with help of course).
	I spy grapes (yum!)	Watermelon sold on the side of the road for 500 shillings (like 20 cents)
One of the health center's community outreach tents to help empower the women in the community with information about family planning. So neat to be a part of.	Yeah Jess, apparently I can't go four months without guacamole. Ooops	These bananas are prepared similar to mashed potatoes and are consumed at almost every meal
Hi these are some of my cute friends in their cute African fabrics	Yes I love tea, but nothing can replace coffee.	So this is what hair looks like after being braided for two weeks... just if you were wondering.
Yes this happened, yes it is heavy and itchy. Yes, I am still getting used to it.	I forgot the name of this one. Sorry mom.	I wonder what God was thinking when He designed these ones. They are both majestic and awkward in good proportions.
Watch out, they will steal your food!		One of the most powerful waterfalls I have ever experienced.
This elephant was alone because it was injured by a snare placed by poachers.	A photo of the Nile from our boat safari trip	We got super lucky and saw 6 or 7 lionesses. They seemed unbothered by the many tour groups stopped on the road taking photos.

This group was seen on shore from our boat cruise.	I would NOT want to swim with these guys	Or with her.
Seeing these creatures in their natural habitat has given me an even greater respect for them.	These antelope had a cool name but I forgot, whoops.	Pine trees are wonderful, but seeing these trees as the Savannah sun was rising is a view I hope I never forget
