Uganda Flora and Fauna

Both Uganda and Rwanda use eucalyptus trees for lots of things - in Uganda they use them to hand carve wooden canoes. On our weekend get away we took a boat ride to one of the 29 islands in Lake Boy. There we walked around a bit and saw some amazing old trees. Check out the peeling bark.
On one of our hikes we walked by this little group of handmade houses. The material was so pretty - it was rough and you could see some sort of straw in it.

I am in love with these weaver birds - they are so loud! It's like they party all day and night.
