Photo: Our trip to Uganda

We last minute decided to take a trip to Uganda since business was almost non-existant at the Seeds of Hope.  It is something that we have been wanting to do for awhile.  A friend in Kigali told us about a rafting company called "adrift" that has a great deal on both sleeping, food, and rafting accomidations.  So the day after Christmas we left on the night bus and were gone three nights (two of which were spent on a bus) and two days.  It was not restful at all, but it was so FUN!  And we have needed that.  We will probably post more pictures of the rafting in the future. 
The bus ride was so long-- we literally left 8 hours late.  Yes 8.  With no warning or explanation....oh Africa.....Even after 8 hours of waiting we had a 12 hour ride ahead of us, which we weren't sure we would come out of alive.

A picture of the Nile river that flows all the way to Egypt!  Hopefully you've heard of it before...We stayed in a place right on it, and the rafted down it the next day.  It was incredible!  Especially after living in the hottest spot in Rwanda.  By the way, I'm really sorry that I just figured out how to post more than one picture at a time, or I would have combined all of our holiday pictures in one post.  That was my origional intent anyway...







These pictures were taken in Kampala, Uganda.  Not our favorite place in the world.  It was an absolute mad house!

Taken in Jinja, Uganda, where we stayed and did the rafting.
