Dave's visit

On the porch at the Good Times Restaurant in Bundibugyo Town just before Dave left for Fort Portal (and then on to Kigali, Rwanda and then to Botswana for his last Med School rotation)
"Thank you Jesus for Cold Drinks" - I have no idea what this sign really says but in my mind that's what it says. Pat says it's not Lubwisi, maybe it's Swahili or something, but after a really hot market experience Dave and I went and found a couple of cold sodas near this sign - so nice!
This is the church that's here on the mission...check out the church leader maxin' and relaxin' in his "beach" chair while the choir sings...
Ngite! Ngite is the waterfall closeby, we drove to the town near the bottom and then hiked up to the falls, or really "scrambled" up to the falls since it's not really something you do standing up, but rather on all fours...but sooooooo worth it on a really hot but clear and beautiful afternoon! How hot you ask? Well the next day in the shade on the Pierce's porch the thermometer said it was in the 90's...so with the humidity and in the sun, very much above 100 I'd say.
Not sure if this picture helps with perspective but it's pretty darn tall! That's Acacia Masso who is 10 years old standing ready to take the plunge into the crisp/cold water....
