The Second Gorilla Trek
Here We Go!
A Note From Kathy:
We were standing among really tall bamboo. Everyone was pretty much in a straight line, watching the gorillas. There was a young gorilla hanging out at the top of the bamboo, moving around above our heads. We all knew he was up there, but for the most part ignored him since he was hard to see among the leaves of the bamboo. After we had been standing there awhile, our guide said “let’s move in, it’s starting to rain”. We all moved further into the bamboo, then I looked around and noticed I was the only one getting rained on! The gorilla was peeing on me! The guide wasn’t sure how I would react to being peed on, so he was trying to make me think it was just rain. I said “he’s peeing on me!”. I have to tell you, this was one of the best experiences of my life!! Really how many people can say they’ve been peed on by a gorilla!
