Yes, it's true. He was big there, too. But why exactly do they have a memorial dedicated to him? I'll let you ponder that while you check out these beautiful pics of the day we took a boat out to see this monument at the headwaters of the Nile - "The Source" they call it, where Nile and Lake Victoria meet. It was gorgeous.(It's an interpretive dance, if you can't tell, about the flowing river and swimming in its nice cool waters. I'm pretty sure the boat guy we hired, who was taking the pictures, thought we were seriously crazy. But he said he totally got it.) And there you have it, Gandhi is still floating throughout Africa on this magnificent river. Bet you didn't know that.
