Photos from our travels looking at land

I thought I might share some photos I've taken lately on some of the MANY day trips we've had to look at land. 

We have seen so many places its hard to keep track of them all. 

The search continues but we know God has the perfect place for us. 

In the mean time we are making precious memories as a family and with our friends who help us look. 

This includes me and rob re experiencing some of the things that make Uganda so special and Hezekiah getting to experience them for the first time.... like being inside a car and pulling up in town and feeling like your in a zoo as everyone tries to see who is inside the car :) 

So I've put a collection of photos for you to enjoy from our most recent days looking for land. 

These photos are from various places but are common sites all over Uganda. 

Women cooking bananas ready to give to people selling to cars going by

When a bus, or taxi, or private car go through a town they can stop and out of nowhere people come running with various food, snacks and drinks.... they have made special holders so they can lift things up to the really tall buses.... or on some occassions people will just hang right out the bus.... the people selling food will run alongside the buses etc to catch their money if bus leaves before they've got it :) ..... you really have to experience it to fully understand.... if your in a car lower to ground its a crazy... overwhelming feeling with the car completely swarmed by people trying to sell you snacks etc.... especially when they realise a mzungu is in the car... and even more so when they realise a bi-racial baby is in the car....
We have had some HILARIOUS conversations with the women that swarm our car when they realise a local man is married to a westerner :) ..... I wish we had a go pro so you could really get a sense of what this is like

A man squished on a bike with Matoke - or green bananas.... i am constantly amazed at boda boda riders and how they can balance such heavy things or so many people on their likes. 

This taxi was OVER FULL... and I mean over full with people and luggage.... but overcrowded is not in the ugandan vocabulary..... so lets try ad squish even more luggage and people in .... this is usually us..... squished inside there too - but we dont have to do this as often now we have a car! Thank you GOD!

Bananas for sale :) 

Meat on a stick anybody for take away..... this is one of the snacks I haven't tried ;)

Mine and hezekiah's favourite roadside snack - Gonja.... roasted plaintain bananas

Some of the precious children we desire to help who are living on the streets

A local little restaurant inside that blue door - women cleaning and preparing out the front.  

That little store in the middle has chappatis 

roadside shop 

These women can carry anything on their heads! And I mean anything..

Washing bays like this are common to find next to a swamp or water source... you park your car and men will wash and clean your car with the local water. Not uncommon to see young boys working here and taking their baths at same time.
