Sipi Falls (Time Away – not as grand as Niagara Falls but it was Ugandan grand)

My mom told me that we only have 104 weekends and to make the most of it. So, with this in mind, we try to see as much of Uganda as we can. In May we made quite the drive to see the eastern part of the country – 8 hours of driving! We went with Rachel and Cheryl (Cheryl was visiting Kibaale for a week) and it was so much fun! We hiked to three different waterfalls, went swimming in a swim hole (maybe this is why Sean is sick), slept two nights in a cool hut and ate some great food! Next adventure is South Western Uganda for Sean’s Birthday!

Pay as you go... they accept blood and sweat

The hut we all slept in. Like a Ugandan yurt, except not at all
