Jinja

We are tired and getting ready for the night.  Today we had the opportunity to see Jinja, a town on Lake Victoria and the start of the Nile.  It would take 90 days to reach Egypt going down the Nile!  It was a sobering thought that we were on the Nile river and learning about papyrus, knowing that centuries ago Moses floated in the river.
We had time to barter for souvenirs before we cruised down the Nile.  We ate chicken on a stick and captured the beauty of Uganda.
Tomorrow is the start of a very busy weekend.  We begin with Chuck and Taryn meeting with the teachers at 8:00am!  Make-up with the older girls and aunties.  Canada Day celebration in the afternoon and finishing with BBQ dinner at Piet and Pita's!
Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts!  Neil and Darlene

    Hmm, you know what they say about everything tasting 'like' chicken... What an amazing day you all had! So glad no one was hurt during the 'earth shake'. We're praying for you all & we can hardly wait to hear details next Friday!:)
