First Impressions

Thought I would post some pictures of Kampala. These were some of our first times out in the city last weekend. The area we are staying in is VERY near Lake Victoria. Here we are by the lake after church that first Sunday! We also went to the market there on Monday--it was an adventure! You can find nearly anything in the shops that line the roads. Mary caught this as we drove by--choose your own chicken!
There's an interesting mingling of all types of things as you stroll about the city. Residences, shops, restaurants, farm areas, and livestock all blend together down nearly every street. The cows like the one in this pic are everywhere.
Taxis are also everywhere. They are the white vans with blue stripes. This is basically the only type of public tranportation there is. We were on one with 18 other people. Someone one-upped me the other day--they were on one with 21 other people.
Fuel is pretty expensive here. This is the cost of Uganda Shillings per liter. $1=2300 shillings. We have become quite accustomed to seeing prices in the 1000s.
We have had a good day today. Found out some progress has been made on our case. This means that we are a baby step closer to a new court date. Also, I got to meet some folks at a ministry here to explore some future mission work. Please continue to pray for us!
