africa day 7 – the nile

Day 7

 

 

In every location we set aside one day to see and be seen – to experience the real magic, reason and heart of the city. In Ethiopia it was New Years and in Uganda it was today. What is there to see and experience in Uganda. On our first day here Sade did the good ole fashioned google search. It turns out we should have done a bit of research! The main and really only thing that is within a day’s drive is the source of the Nile River. Once we learned this it was a clear indication that we would be on a spiritual renewal.

 

 

To me whether you are Christian, Catholic, Muslim, Atheist or other religious background the Source of the Nile is a big deal and a source of meaning and reverence. It is also where Ghandi’s ashes were spread. The Nile is fed by Lake Victoria the largest body of water in the continent. The River flows north to south and is the main source of commerce, transportation and information. The Nile was the first information super highway! It was a quiet day with a long drive and a moment of reflection on the water and a local meal of fresh fish. There was not much going on other then the source so it allowed us to reflect on the work, set our intentions, and listen to what is next. See the pictures below….
