Uganda Photos and Video

I have been meaning to post photos from my trip to Uganda, but as you might imagine, we have a lot going on. What with packing, making Borg costumes, and general summer fun, I've gotten a little bit behind on some things.

Fortunately, I also have some video to post that my coworker took. I haven't had a chance to edit any of the video so you can MUTE the volume, or just ignore the bits of fuzzy conversation in the background. It isn't relevant to the moving images.

This video was taken in the produce section of the Nakasero market in Kampala.


This video was taken on Kampala streets by my colleague while I was shopping frantically for fabrics:

Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip.
