Sipi Falls

See that cabin to the right of the waterfall?  That's where we stayed.


I had a wonderful weekend.  I went to Sipi Falls, Uganda with some great people and it was beautiful and peaceful and I loved it.  Sipi Falls are a series of waterfalls that all feed into each other.  We went hiking and had leisurely two hour dinners and played games and enjoyed being in a really beautiful place.  It is cold enough that there are no mosquitos, hallelujah!  The place was fairly rustic with no electricity so at night everything was lit with kerosene lamps which was beautiful.



Monkeys playing outside our front door.



Hiking!  We walked to the top of this waterfall, and then to the next one.  That stick came in really handy when I started slipping in the mud from the recent rains.  I came back just a little bit dirty and completely exhausted.

  2. Border crossing is always kind of nerve wracking. It costs $50 officially and they often want more than that. The whole situation makes me feel a little vulnerable so it is nice to have friends around.

    The trucks have a rougher time. I guess trucks wanting to cross the border often wait a week or more and the line of huge trucks can be backed up for miles and miles, it's a crazy sight.
