Our matatu (taxi) from Gulu broke down, so here's my best attempt at a shot from atop a lorry carrying groundnuts. We're about 15 ft. up, with a peerlesss sky above. Only in Uganda...

Breakfast with my good friend Mike, who's family we're visiting.

The Kitgum Mosque

This restaurant answers for us an important question about the order of our day.

The car wash near the river.

A beautiful church in the distance, the most beautiful structure of any kind I've seen in Northern Uganda.

I'm not ashamed, as my friend Jesse often points out, to go touristy in places where I am truly a tourist. Here's a vista of Kitgum from across the river.

Mike models the same.

Across the river and back in to town.

Our hotel, very class, especially at 10,000/night ($6).

Here's where I watched Crimson Tide the night before. It was just on TV, and somehow it was incredibly therapeutic to just turn on a TV and watch a movie, an American thriller, with Denzel no less!

At Mike's parents' home in the village.

Our cramped transportation. For some reason, there was a bar where my shoulder was supposed to be, which caused me some frustration.

just happy to be here.

I think it's going to rain... This was right after we paid 5,000 UGX to a guy who wanted to ride the falls on a jerry can.

mmm...lunch, chicken and chips with soda. I like Jinja.
