That river, whatsits name

Last week, Mr. Four, the boys, and I took a trip that had us driving along the Nile for a while. I said, “Look at the river. What’s the name of that river?”

Giggle looked at me, a bit confused, and then said, “From Ethiopia!” Bug nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the Nile River has its headwaters in Ethiopia, in the form of the Blue Nile, and in Uganda, as the White Nile. The two rivers meet in Khartoum, Sudan, and then flow north into Egypt and eventually into the Mediterranean.

However, it appears I have perhaps overemphasized the Ethiopia part of the equation.
