Thanksgiving on the Nile

Some of us girls went to Jinja on Thanksgiving Day.  We had Anya and Galya from the Ukraine, Lilli from Germany, and then Robin and me from the U.S. - so it was not technically a Thanksgiving outing.
We first went to the Source of the Nile


Anya and Galya negotiated a price for the boat ride

Our guide

A shopping island

In the dry season, these are in great place, but now they are flooded

We went inside and shopped.  First time shopping in a flooded shop

Then we took off our shoes to go to the "Source of the Nile"


The rocks were killing my feet!



Too Funny





The swirling water is where the spring is that feeds the White Nile






A beautiful hotel and then on the other side, a run-down village - such a contrast


The government wants the people to go somewhere else, but they will not leave - they only know a fishing life




The first port in Uganda



Tourists!
