30 Days of Africa - #15

The CONGO River!!! Several weekends ago, my friend and I traveled to Brazzaville, the capital city in the Republic of Congo, to attend a wedding. I'll try to share more about the trip later, but the Congo river was something that definitely had to be experienced while we were there. This river is the deepest in the world and second largest river after the Amazon. Since I've been swimming in the Amazon River, I also had to get in the Congo River...although only to put my feet in this time. In the first picture, you can see the Democratic Republic of Congo or DRC on the other side of the river with the DRC capitol city of Kinshasa directly across from Brazzaville... also a world record for the closest capitol cities of 2 different countries. Otherwise, it was a beautiful, huge river that felt really great to my feet on a hot day.
