So we went to the Bujumbura zoo yesterday. We were the only ones there so we got a private tour from the "zookeeper." One example of this little jaunt...we came to the spitting cobra cage and the snake was hiding in his log. The little zoo man then proceeded to open the cage, shake the snake out of the log, and provoke it to get into attack position and spit at us. I think its safe to say that zoos in Bujumbura are NOT like the U.S. Haha animal rights activists would have a fit, but it made for a pretty entertaining trip to the zoo.
Chris Sayler and Skyler are out at the market (which is one of the most overwhelming experiences you could ever imagine) buying food to take to the pigmies we are visiting on Wednesday.
The grand opening of the new church building is next Sunday, so pray for the funds to come in to finish the roof before then. Alright, gotta go!
Imohoro N'Urukundo (peace and love!)

Hoff forgot to mention that the little zookeeper man also put a dangerous, poisonous snake right beside us - out side of its cage. And it made me laugh that these little harmless deer were in these 10' high cages with some pretty heavy-duty wire fences, and some of the snakes and crocs were just surrounded by a couple-feet high walls. Anyway, we lived.
Adventures!
