R&R

Well I’m back in Sudan after two much-needed (or greatly appreciated) weeks of R&R. It’s amazing what 10 days in Uganda followed by 3 in Nairobi with not too much office time will do when you’ve just spent the last eight weeks juggling a knife, ball of fire, chainsaw and anvil (figurative). My energy level and excitement to get back into things is amazingly high considering by a couple days before leaving here I considered not coming back from R&R (ok, not really, but the last few days my frustration level was sky high).

So I was able to spend the time with one of my college friends and this Canadian that works out here in Sudan out of a nearby base. Thankfully by the end I managed to keep from picking up any of those crazy Canadian sayings like “eh?” or anything. Here is a pic of us at the amazingly powerful Murchison Falls in central Uganda. The crocs and hippos were cool, but the amount of force as the Nile goes from what looks like about 60 or so feet wide to about 10 as it drops about 20 yards was definitely more impressive to me.
