Balu Robinson Cruse (yep, that's his name)--probably the coolest guy on the continent

Beautiful landscape of the Ugandan country from the top of a VERY large hill near Fort Patiko. If you could see over the mountains in the distance, you would see Sudan.

Uganda Wildlife (photos round 3)




These dudes were all over the place

Weird...just weird

It was hard not to find a racy baboon picture...

Probably the wildest life we encountered on our safari

Interesting Giraffe fact--The older they get, the darker the spots

Water buffalicous

They're not dangerous...really...I swear...

photos round 2

These are some photos of the fantastic people that I met and worked with during the summer exchange.


This is a group picture after our final dinner at a fantastic Turkish restaurant in Kampala.


These are my Pabo "sisters" on our Rhino excursion.


Heading out to town (Insider's tip--don't wear shorts in Uganda unless you are eight years old--especially with titanium white legs!)


Hiking at Fort Patiko


After movie night at Kope Cafe


Just goofing around


Heading out to the Teaching and Learning Conference in Gulu--Pack thouse munus into that truck!

And Finally, Some Photos

These photos are from the Invisible Children 2008 Teacher Exchange experience in Gulu and Pabo Uganda.

This first set of photos comes from the school I taught at as well as photos from some other teaching partners.
