Tubing the Nile

Transporting our apartment rug
through the streets of Kampala,
no one even gave us a second look,
it was a makeshift sleeping pad

Last weekend, as a late 4th of July celebration, we went to Jinja to float down the Nile.  We took a motorboat up current a ways, and then floated in groups of linked tubes back down.  Then we had a barbecue along the shore of the Nile and got to sleep in a tent.  It totally hit the spot.  It was very relaxing, and we met some hilarious law students from Pepperdine University.  They introduced us to Wednesday trivia night at Atmosphere Lounge--the only category won by the team with white people was African Geography.

We did this with the Mountain Club of Uganda, whom we first joined up with to go rock climbing in a quarry a little while back.
