Arrival in Lira


Today we set off for Lira, the site where we will be spending the rest of our time piecing together our project. Lira is at about a 5-hour drive northbound from Kampala. We crossed to the other side of the Nile River at which point we encountered baboons. Here are some pictures:
 (in the first picture you will find Chris, not a baboon...in case it wasn't obvious.)




Lira is a small city of about 100,000 people. Beatrice, the founder and director of Lira Integrated School has generously offered to host us during our time here. We are lodging in two cottages on her property grounds. These are what they look like:



It has been a long journey and we are now going to sleep.
Tomorrow, we are visiting the school for the first time!
Stay tuned!
