This past weekend we went to Jinja to visit the source of the Nile. We got there expecting to be able to walk right to the source but found a sign charging Ugandans 2000 shillings and non Ugandans 1000. Yep, racism still exists. Luckily we had Suzanne the expert bargainer with us though and we got them to lower the price for us.
We payed a guide to take us on a canoe to see the exact source and expected him to tell us about Lake Victoria and the Nile. Unfortunately it was dinner time and our guide was starving. When we asked him the difference he said, "This water is stagnant, this water isn't, can we go back now" I'm now very educated on Lake Victoria and the Nile feel free to ask me any questions.
Monday was the forth of July and as 23 Americans in Uganda we felt we should celebrate. We made hamburgers and french fries and sang the national anthem. The meat was sketchy but we made it work. If you want to see the excitement check our our you tube channel, Help International Mbale.
