Team Day Out

Hello All :). It has been a while since I've written because we are still on our break in Uganda. The internet has been choppier than I expected and we have tried to take some time away from everything to rest. However, I am back to blogging and am looking forward to updating the blog about twice a week again.

Last week, we went on a team retreat to a place near Jinja, Uganda. We took a "team day out" on Friday and went exploring. Here are some pictures from the day.

Our first stop was a short hiking trip around a beautiful waterfall. We had a guide who told us about the history of the people who first lived in the area. It was very interesting and extremely beautiful.

Our next stop of the day was to go on a boat ride on Lake Victoria. It was unbelievably beautiful! We rode to the source of the Nile River and got to see where the two bodies of water meet. 

This is a view from the boat ride. This is of Lake Victoria.

We stopped at this little shop during the boat ride. It was on a tiny island that was located right where Lake Victoria meets the Nile River. The shop was super cute! You had to take your shoes off to enter the shop because the floor is covered with water from the lake. It was really cool!

This is a picture of R.J., Anna, Heather and me in the shop. They said that the shop/ island does not flood because they recently dammed the river.

Our last stop of the day was to a restaurant called, "The Keep". It was started by an American family and the food was familiar and oh so amazing :). It was really nice to order food that actually came out the way we were hoping it would and to have incredibly delicious milkshakes for dessert!

It was a great day out! We had a great time exploring and bonding as a team. It was nice to take time away from the retreat to "play" together and see the beautiful sights in the area. We are really grateful for the fun day out together!
