To the Equator!

~ Mom with Josiah ~ ~ Krista, Josiah, and Shauen at the Equator ~ After a few days of settling in, we've drawn up a rough schedule of some of the things Mom should see and do while she's here in Uganda. The first is a trip to the equator! Mom and I had been to visit the huge equator marker in Ecuador, South America, when I was a boy. The markers in Uganda are considerably less impressive but it makes for a good picture - and a good trial run for Josiah's first outing of any note.

We head out of town and Mom immediately understands why we have this huge truck - even on the "nicely paved" roads outside Kampala, the potholes are big enough to swallow a car and the roads are rough. Mom continues to look wide-eyed at everything we pass, full of questions and comments, and desperate attempts to snap pictures as we drive down the road. I think she has more blurry pictures of the inside of the car than anything else! -Shauen
