Africa in Perspective

So, M and I are on our way to Africa, Uganda to be specific, on Saturday. You may be wondering why we have written so little about this upcoming voyage. For a couple of reasons, the trip didn't seem real until very recently. Perhaps this morning, when I was shoving soccer balls and pencils into my suitcase. But I have been doing a fair amount of reading on the blogosphere, and I came across this interesting map. I think what blows my mind about this trip is that I don't know what to expect. Even the scale of this huge continent sort of blows my mind.
