Jinja #2
Today our awesome hosts took us to Jinja where the source of the Nile is. Was a great day. After breakfast and a quick post and email check at an internet cafĂ© we were off for our 2 hour drive. We first went to Bujagali falls and then back through Jinja to see the source of the Nile. Then off to the Triangle Hotel to sit on one of the most amazing patios around. We drank a Nile beer (which was brewed about 5 miles from where we drank it, and relaxed for a bit. Then headed over to the other side of the river for a dinner at Kingfisher Lodge a little place on the Nile shores. We had fried Tilapia (fished from Lake Victoria which we were sitting at the edge of) and fries or “chips” as they call them here. This all was of course accompanied with another Nile Lager. A short hike down to the lake front and then we hit traffic and the drive back ended up being about 3 hours. Tomorrow we are off to visit Makarare University Business School. Then to the Rotary office and then off to our first presentation and fellowship (this is what Rotary calls socializing or networking) Yesterday and today were pretty “vacation like” with it being Easter and then a holiday today as well. So tomorrow we get to work!

Fun to read your blog posts. We have you bookmarked, so we'll read as often as you post! I think Patrick would like to follow along, too. He asks about you often. Today I told him that you were in Africa, but didn't have time to tell him the details because it was just as I was getting on the bus. Here's the link to e-mail him: http://www.rochester.k12.mn.us/se3bin/clientschool.cgi.
Hey sis. my access can be spotty with email, could you forward the link for me? Thanks Much!
