near death experiences by kerri and brianne

africa is just full of surprises.
you wake up every morning
wondering if this will be your last day on earth.
we would just like to share with you a FEW of our crazy experiences.
sympathy cards are welcome.
 - falling into the nile river in some crazy insane rapids similar to a giant turbo mode washing machine. we were under water for at least 20 minutes. (or something around there) BOTH of us saw our lives flash before our eyes. we even went so far as to say goodbye to our fiance's in our heads.
- getting parasites. one of us was even lucky enough to get sent to an african hospital for 3 days. she lost 30 pounds and is now weighing in at a little over 75 big ones. nice and strong for her wedding day.
- near death by warthog. we literally almost lost our lives to a warthog. we were minding our own business and posing in a picture when that nasty thing charged at us! we both screamed and it took about 10 minutes to calm down. we lost so much respect for pumba.
-walking on a bridge across some raging water. ghetto african bridge got a big chunk missing out of it and one of us failed to notice the missing chunk and fell right through. if it weren't for handrails, there would be one less foxy lady in this world.
- boda boda wreck. whats a boda boda you ask? a little ghetto african motorcycle that these usually creepy men drive us around on. we were just driving down the street and before i knew it, we ran head on into a car! i (kerri) will probably have a nice scar on my calf for the remainder of my life. quality.

so anyways, i hope reading this you found yourself pitying us with great intensity.
because we kinda deserve it.

but really, africa isn't all bad. we've had some way good times too, believe it or not.
we'll write about that later though.

we will just leave you with this moment that captures us about to be thrown into the raging rapids.
