Rafting the Nile: Jinja Uganda
When I was in Uganda, I had an incredible opportunity to raft the Nile river right near it's source. It was not flat and brown as I always pictured the Nile to be. Rather, it was gorgeous, clean, clear, and surrounded by lush, green vegetation. The rapids were all class 4, 5, and even 6!!! I have never seen anything else so powerful. It was truly amazing. I went with Lindsay and my dad because we thought that it would be a fun way to spend a free day. It turned out to be one of my favorite things I have ever done. It is a memory that will last a lifetime.
We had a really cool guide from New Zeland and 3 really cool "safety assistants" who came along for the day in kayaks (they were local guys with really cool jobs). One of the safty guys had a digital camera with him and took these pictures.
Here they are.
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of these, but there were plenty of monitor lizards along the river banks. I also saw a green mamba swimming in the water near the raft. Other animals we were instructed to be wary of were Nile Crocodiles and Hippos.

A little different than our elany arts rafting trips :)
Awesome photos! That last one looks scary. You should have caught the green mamba!
Awesome pictures Collin! That looks like a lot of fun! I agree with Johnathan, you should have caught the green mamba. ;-) lol. Honestly, I have no clue what that animal looks like. Guess I should go look that up on images. :-) lol. See ya later!

No, you can die with a quickness if a green mamba bites you.

wow.
I wrestled a hippo once. For 20 minutes. Wearing a crocodile suit. A topless crocodile suit.
you say wrestled, but you actually mean mated with.
and it was more like 34 seconds.
and Childish was the hippo.
You people make me want to throw up.
In a matter of 3 comments, Xerxes went from Wrestling a Hippo to mating with Childish. I feel sorry for any kids who may have played "whisper down the lane" with you.
AHAH! Junior high the greatest time of ours lives.
And by "I wrestled a hippo once. For 20 minutes. Wearing a crocodile suit. A topless crocodile suit.", I meant, "Snake man and Childish are probably harboring secret homosexual feelings toward each other. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
crocodile suit, hippo "wrestling"....... whatever tickles your fansy
snake man be careful around animal boy, he seems to have a weird "thing" for critters
My feelings for Childish are purely heterosexual, because, as you know, he is a girl.
I'm surprised you wouldn't know this after the "hippo" encounter.
Gay jokes are soooo 2004, you need more sophisticated jokes.
An elderly lady went to the doctor for a checkup. Everything was fine, but the old lady told the doctor, "My husband and I.. well our sex life needes a buster. What can i do?"
The doctor smiled and said, "Have you tried to give him Viagra?"
The lady frowned. "Doctor, I can't even get him to take aspirin when he has a headache," she claimed.
"Well," the doctor continued, "Crush the Viagra into a powder. When you are giving him coffee, stir it into the coffee and serve it."
Weeks later the old lady returned. She was frowning and the doctor asked her what was wrong. She shook her head.
"How did it go?" the doctor asked.
"Terribly, doctor, terribly."
"Did it not work?"
"Yes," the old lady said, "It worked. I did as you said and he got up right away and we made love right there, right then. It was the best time in 25 years."
"Then what is the problem, ma'am?"
"Well," she said. "I can't ever show my face in McDonald's again."

I just thought you should all know, someone found our site yesterday by searching: " want to purchase jeans that makes your butt look bigger" Now if that's not what we're all about, I don't know what else it would be.
gay jokes are sophisticated up the wazoo.(snicker)
i'll leave you with some words from the family guy,"Gays don't vomit. They're a very clean people. And they've been that way ever since they came over to this country from France."
Oh yes, isn't Family Guy great?

Hippo wrestling... I tried to wrestle a young hippo once. Its jaws were strapped shut to keep from biting me. I was wearing only a snake skin top and boots. I jumped on its back and straddled it furosiously. Luckily it wasnt quite full grown especially since I'm only 5' 9" 115 lbs. It easiy shrugged me off and I began to orgasm as its full weight began to squash me into submission.
