The Nile and Murchison Falls
We just got a new internet service provider, and it seems as if we are really going to be able to post some pictures. It has been extremely difficult to do this in previous posts. Hopefully you will find the vast array of photos enjoyable rather than overwhelming.
This first set of photos is of the Nile and Murchison Falls. We cross the Nile one or two times, depending on which route we take, as we travel to Kampala. It is a beautiful sight and a highlight of the trip. We also go through Murchison Falls National Park depending again on which route we take. Murchison Falls is created by the Nile squeezing through a 9 meter space. Unfortunately we are unable to give you the real experience as the water thunders through the crevice. We have both visited Victoria Falls and Niagara Falls but somehow they don't compare with the power of Murchison Falls. It is amazing.

Eric standing just behind a sign that says, "Danger. Please don't go beyond this point. Management." Not a big surprise, huh?!

Beautiful pictures of the Nile and the falls. Would love to see it but I fear our traveling days are over so we'll be content with your pictures. So glad to have a new blog because that tells us youre back from Nairobi. Hope the trip went well. You're always in my thoughts and prayers.
love, mamaA
Hooray! You are back up and running. The photos are fabulous. The beauty of the earth is beyond description. Hallelujah!
Received the b-day card 10/4. Did you get large package?
Love
Mom
Mama A, We did arrive back from Nairobi safely but only in time for Eric to spend the week with the Nebbi Diocese for a CIDA evaluation. We now actually have a couple of days to breathe. And it feels pretty great.
Mom Bailey, We did receive Aunt Beth's package but yours must still be enroute. I will let you know when we receive it. Glad to hear that you had a good evening with Aunt Beth and Uncle Del.

Any idea what Murchison Falls is like during the dry season? We're still thinking January 2008 if it will fit your schedule.
Take care.
Love, AB on the road
I am not sure what Murchison is like in the dry season. I will try to remember to ask some folks. I have been told that the dry season can be pretty miserable here. I can't imagine it being much hotter than it is now but I guess that it will be. If you can handle hot weather, we would love to have you in January of 2008.
