It is always good to see the country where you live through visitors eyes. After over 10 years in Uganda the things we see are often just normal for us. However, the oohs and ahhh's from the back of the car often tell us that something we take for granted as a part of life is not quite what people are used to when they come from the west. I have included some photos to show you courtesy of Simon's parents.
The photos are a bit random in order due to the length of time it has taken me to download them but the captions should make it self explanatory.

Saturday must have been "butcher" day as each village we passed through had varying degrees of cut up carcasses for sale

A special treat was a leopard sighting. Unfortunately I didn't have time to change lenses so I could have a closer photo of it. It slinked away into the bush but it was an amazing sight. Not one you see very often at all.
J, Z and I on the top of the boat. You can just see one of three elephants in the background that were walking along the river bank. Along with elephants we saw hippos, a monitor lizard, crocodile and birds of varying sorts.
On our way home we stopped to buy some fish which were caught in Lake Victoria. We had them for dinner that night.
These fish were of the tilapia variety. They have a strong smell so we didn't want them in the car so as is custom here we had them attached to the front of our car. At one point one of the fish started flapping in the wind so it looked like it was flying. Thankfully it didn't fly off!
