Day at the Nile

Hello friends and family!! We began our day with breakfast and our morning meeting at the hotel and then a drive to Jinja. Throughout the ride we discovered more of Uganda as we viewed fields of crops as well as markets and small towns. We stopped at a scenic lookout where John, our driver, decided to bungee jump over the Nile river. We then continued our drive until we stopped to take a boat ride to the source of the Nile. There we learned about the history of the Nile as well as the types of animals that inhabit the river. After touring the river we continued our drive to a small coffee shop surrounded by a large marketplace. We stopped for lunch and then shopped for the majority of the afternoon. We bought things such as bracelets, drums, necklaces, paintings, keychains, coffee and much more. Our team then returned to the hotel for dinner and our nightly meeting. Thank you so much for all of the prayers, we are so thankful for your love and support and we can't wait to see what is in store for the rest of our trip!!
