Free Round Still Life @ Tropical Pub








This was after I ran away from the Americans.  Can you find the Club, Nile Gold, Dunhill Blue, honey, and unidentifiable glass of beer?

Sipi Falls



I traveled to Eastern Uganda towards the end of my time there, near the Kenyan border, to Sipi Falls.  Its a series of three waterfalls in the district of Kapchorwa. It was so peaceful, I could have stayed there for at least a month.





Yes, that is me in a tree.





This is where we stayed.












The End.

Last day on Ssese Islands: Buried Dog, Digging Ant, & Some Children



Lunch time: Fresh Fish in Ground Nut Sauce (they're a bit like peanuts, but different), Matoke, Rice, Avocado, Yam...










Local Coca Cola Ad.

First we tried to bury the dog in the sand.

Then we watched an ant dig a hole in the sand for about two hours.  Then the ant grabbed a dead ant and put it in the hole.  Very strange.  Perhaps its an ant grave?

Lake Victoria. So beautiful, so warm, but watch out for Bilharzia!



These kids from the island decided to show us around.








Some last shots of Hornbill Campsite before leaving....  I will return to you one day!


That little blue cabin is where Almas and I stayed.

Wandering Around Kalangala


I don't know who lives here.







We came across this building that appeared to be undergoing a renovation or restoration.  There were piles of different materials lying around the building site, which gave me a chance to look at some of them a little more closely.

Big pieces of stone, probably to build a wall.

Aggregate.

What's in the bag? I'm guessing materials for cement...?



At first we were afraid of this pig because it sounded like it was growling, until we realized its probably the laziest pig in the world.

 










There are so many different facial expressions you can make while sitting in the grass.



These are some more really great buildings I encountered along the way of our wanderings around town.
