A Weekend in Buja

This past weekend our family was able to get away to Bujumbura for 3 nights for a little rest and relaxation.  We stayed at a resort on the beach of Lake Tanganyika.  It was beautiful and it was refreshing and we got to eat hamburgers.

Here are some photos:

Because sometimes you just need to pack up your couch and go

Friday afternoon we drove down the road to another resort which had 2 chimpanzees, one of them free roaming, who greeted us all with hugs.  This photo is Greg playing with the chimp.  Greg is the one wearing the baseball hat.

While we were eating lunch, the chimp snuck up to our table and stole Mekdes' Fanta.  Ella tried to wrestle it out of his hands but apparently he REALLY wanted it.
