The attached picture is me on the wood boot that we took down the Nile River on Saturday last week. John, Aaron, his son and some short term missionaries with the Church of Christ were with me. The skipper was Joseph who told us about a place very near the boat I am standing in that used to be much lower and there was a short waterfall exposed where Ugandan would come and worship a god who live in the waterfalls. However, when they built the dam upstream and the area rose covering up the waterfall they moved the island in the middle of the Nile and now go there hoping that their god will reappear. It has been going on since the 70's.
Joseph is a Catholic who thinks the local worshippers are full of nonsense.
It was on this river trip that I saw numerous birds and monkeys. Interesting stuff.
It rained today and is therefore cooler.
