John and Meredith's Last Weekend


For John and Meredith's last weekend in Uganda, we decided to take in some of the scenery on the Eastern side of the country. Here is Sipi Falls which lies in the foothills of Mt. Elgon near the border with Kenya.

Sipi is a series of three waterfalls. This is the falls located highest up in the hills, affectionately known as Number 3.

After a day at the falls, we ventured down to Tororo to visit Jacob and his family. The kids have grown up fast since the last time I saw them, and the littlest one I was meeting for the first time. From left to right: Branka (wants to be a pastoress), Matai (wearing the Museveni T-shirt, wants to be a teacher), Bernice (still undecided), and Grace(wants to be a pilot).

To get back to Kampala, we hitched a ride at 6 AM on the back of a pick-up truck driven by one of Jacob's friends. Our co-passenger was printer needing some repairs in the capital. A little chilly, but the views were great.

The best film crew to hit Uganda since The Last King of Scotland.
