Day Two

All of us guys (seven of us) decided that we wanted to wake up early enough to see our first African sunrise. We got outside at about 6:15 A.M. and watched the sun come up for almost an hour. The sunrise lived up to and passed all of the hype about African sunrises as you will see by my pictures. When we first got out there, there was a layer of mist/haze over the fields and all you could see was the silhouettes of the water buffalo. It was an amazing scene. It took over a half an hour until the sun was visible but with every minute that passed, new colors, or shall I say colours, appeared in the sky. We even saw a rhino while we were out there. One of the guys, Dan, apparently pissed off the rhino because he started making a fuss. Rhinos have a very interesting and distinct noise. Videos will show. The rest of the day was spent doing orientation activities, playing more soccer and Frisbee and of course, drinking tea.
