Jinja

About 10:30 AM on Monday and we are on our way to Jinja to visit the source of the Nile river. This was on our original itinerary but got canceled because we are now going to be a week in Gulu in the North which sounds amazing. We are going to be visiting an IDP (internal displaced persons) camp... a refugee war camp basicaly as well as see some of the water projects that the Twin Cities Rotary district has been a part of with the World Vision organization. Today is an "on our own" family day and ours chose to take us to Jinja so we're excited. We drove through downtown Kampala today, met briefly with a friend of our host Daudi. His friend was the guy in charge of sports in uganda. Kind of like a NFL commissioner but for all sports and tied into the government. We started today off with bread, fresh fruit, coffee and a new fruit I had never tried before called Paw Paw which is supposed to be great for your metabolism, so if I come back lighter I'll blame it on the Paw Paw. Should be a fun day! SB
