Another work trip to work for a job in Kisumu on Lake Victoria. Took a week off over easter to go to Uganda, where I met up with Jacobien and we did a hike up Mount Elgon, an extinct volcano on the Kenyan / Ugandan border. Uganda seemed like a good place to meet as Jacobien was working in DRC and we met in Entebbe.
