Kampala and nearby--Some pictures
Enjoy some pictures from around Kampala and Ssezibwa Falls from the past couple of weeks.
From the top of tank hill--we ate at a cafe with this view
Marcia and I at the cafe
Malaria pills: case and point! This is what my leg looked like after we ate dinner at the cafe (unfortunately, I wasn't the only one enjoying my meal). I was even covered in bug spray (98% deet). This is why one takes medicine to prevent malaria.
The very nice family from Nigeria I ate dinner with last week--CUTE baby girl!
Sometimes when you live in Uganda, you get really thirsty.
A view of downtown Kampala from my meeting at the Public Health Laboratory--
On the road to Ssezibwa Falls--just in case we need a chair
More from the roadside
Along our hike to the top of the falls. We had a very nice tour guide named Christopher.
The view from the top of Ssezibwa Falls.
(L to R) Christopher, Marcia, and Glen on our tour around the park.
The falls from a distance.
Falls a bit closer-up.
Downstream.
A nearby house.
A matoke (banana/plantain) truck on the way home from the falls.
The market where we stopped to get some refreshment before our drive home.
A funny sign on the way home...one of my favourite passtimes when traveling around is reading all of the roadsigns and advertisements. Some can be quite amusing.
