Last Day at Red Chilli camp

7/8 Watched the sunrise in the mist and ate some amazing fruit.  As a side note, the showers are FREEZING so we all were pretty nast by the end of this whole thing...eh, when in Rome.  (or Uganda.)  We left for the rhino sanctuary.  When we got there, we were able to see them roaming only 30 meters away! We learned a lot; did you know that there are only 80 white rhinos left in the world? Hence the sanctuary where they are trying to breed more.  Even more interesting, rhinos are monogamous.  And let’s just say that the lady rhino has the male on her back for an hour an a half for about 12 times in a lifetime...good God.  We headed back to Kampala to the hostel but on the way hit a huge pothole.  I hit my head and jammed my finger but all is well.  You think that Madison potholes are bad!? You haven’t seen ANYTHING like this before.  I need to take some pics for you all.  Met Tara (the director for Sewing Hope) and her friend Kelly for dinner.  We had some street vendor Samosa and then headed to bed.
