Pictures!

Meet Parker.  Not the best picture, but one of the few I have.  She is hanging out in a banana tree in our backyard.
Muhindo and Barret in the yard of the palace of the King of Rwenzururu, in front of Muhindo's Toyota Corona in which  we toured W Uganda.

Our house in Kakamega!!!
This is a legendary rock that some men just inside the Park border showed us.  They were there cutting wood for timber.  According to Muhindo this rock has sacred meaning to the people around the park.  People come and give sacrifices at it, mostly of chickens.  Men have tried to take it out of the ground, and if they do succeed in taking it back to their homes, it always finds its own way back to the same spot. 

Here you can see Muhindo hard at work, billowing the goat skins to make the coals hot.  The expert iron smith is to his right, the apprentice to his left.
I took this as we climbed up to the Rwenzori Mountain National Park border.  The walk took us up through the surrounding villages.  The view just kept getting better and better.
