Uganda

well we made it across the border yesterday to uganda. The customs people were very friendly and it went smoothly. However we made the mistke of forgetting to figure out the currency conversion and then arriving after the banks had closed before the long weekend for easter... woops.. anyways we eventually figured it out.
Uganda is amazing, lush green, rolling hills... lake victoria... we love it. However we walked across the start of the nile today here in Jinja and were taking picture of the dam and the river when we were stopped by a uganda army officer... apparently taking pictures of the dam is against the law and they assume u are a terrorist for doing so..... woops! so after he took our cameras and wanted to take us away... we managed to have another army lady come over who spoke better english and talk our way out of it and even get our cameras back... minus a few pictures... woops! But no worries we will make sure to read signs from now on...... even though there we none warning us against this haha

Hope all is well at home
