Gulu is the town where my parents live. It is about a 6 hour drive from Kampala. It is full of boda boda's (motorcycle taxi's), pedestrians, bicycles, big trucks, taxi's, buses, and pot holes. The pot holes in Uganda give new meaning to the word "pot hole". It is impossible to describe what it is like, but we did out best and took pictures all along the roads wherever we traveled. Here are just a few we picked out.

| The women here are excellent multi-taskers. |
 |
| There is no such thing as over-loading your bike |
 |
| The cutest little sewing shop we saw when we were stopped in the road. The picture doesn't quite show it, but there was a cute little girl in there standing beside her mom (who is waving) and the sewing machine. |
 |
| Trucks and people everywhere. |
 |
| . . . . . and pot holes |
 |
| This oil tanker was driving down the road and stopping every so often and people were filling up barrels. We aren't sure how that worked . . . . |
 |
| A load of people off to markets to sell their goods |
 |
| Boda Boda's . . . . . everywhere! |
 |
| Downtown Gulu |
 |
| A rare stretch of highway that isn't covered with pedestrians and traffic. |
 |
| A construction sight. And taxi's. |
