Touched the Source of the Nile

I know last time I said I had so much to say, but it just keeps getting better. I seriously have SO MUCH TO SAY!

Last Saturday (I know I've gotten a ways behind on writing) we went to the "Source of the Nile" in Jinja. It is literally the spot where the Nile River starts. We took a little boat ride out on the Nile and saw the spot where Lake Victoria becomes the Nile River. If you would have told me two years ago that by the time I was 20 I would have touched both ends of the Nile River I never would have believed you. Is this really my life? or am I dreaming? Seriously amazing! This river is so rich with culture, life, and religion. From the Pharoahs to Joseph to Moses to Christ to the people of Uganda to me... It is flowing with life and history.

That afternoon we got Indian food for lunch in Jinja. There is quite a large popluation of Indians here because they own most of the sugar cane factories. Cool fact: Did you know Lugazi is the sugar capitol of the world? Lunch was so delicious! Chicken Tiki Masala with nan. Try it if you ever get the chance. It was a nice break from our regular Ugandan menu.
