National Library of Uganda

As with many other places in Africa the buildings are dusty and in need of paint and some repairs. The work the Library does is vital to the people of Uganda and those who use the facility to study or read. Besides the many video library's (more like a video rental shop) I've seen, this was the only Library we visited (besides the University Library of course). Have a look at the National Library website to see the work they do http://www.nlu.go.ug/

PS. Thanks for helping to take photos Erin!

Instagram addiction

As much as I dont really want to admit this... Hello my name is Suzanne and I am addicted to Instagram.

What I love about the app is that you can take almost boring holiday snaps and turn them into something interesting. Out of focus shots suddenly become facinating and different and no one will notice the out-of-focusness that we sometimes worry about.

Here I wanted to share some holiday snaps from Disney and Universal studios that are not realy my favourite photograps. I wanted to try and turn them into something fun. I will include the original image as well as the Instagrammed final product with the name of the filter applied.
