Kuleba exchange: multi-tasker's extrordinaire. Started off at the hotel. We all awoke, had great breakfast then we were off to the Zoo. I've never been to the zoo. I was extremely excited, the zoo was huge and such a maze of wonders. i kind of felt bad when i saw the animals confined in fences and gates. There was a leopard we were taking pictures of and while i zoomed in i kept thinking of how lonely that leopard must of felt all by him/her self. There was this one ostrich that was very friendly and it seemed like he loved humans. Every time someone passed by the ostrich was ready to play. Oh yeah kangaroos! kangaroos! I saw a kangaroo for the first time in personal and i was looking for their pouch everywhere. I guess they were keeping it hidden. Mukiza, Gilbert and i got really good shots of the black bears. They were so playful. We passed by a small field of different animals and we saw what looked like a huge black deer with horns half its size. Gilbert was amazed by the antlers and so was I. I never knew their antlers grew hair. That was pretty weird.

Lunch

Then the Farm. It was so beautiful and very peaceful. I felt like i was in a movie. We fed the goats and cows. One cow would bathe in the tub water and the other urinated in it. It was pretty gross but i guess its normal for them. We took great pictures on top of a hay stack about 4 stories tall. Then came a tractor with hay. We got on and rode around the farm until we reached the strawberry fields. It was kind of hard to find the strawberries, they were hidden under leaves. We picked our berries and had them for dessert later that night when we went BOWLING! That was theeee best. Gilbert and Axel were really good at bowling and this was their first time.
