Jambo!

Jambo is hello in Swahili just so everyone knows. Well it was an interesting try. Our plane was late leaving because of wind in Atlanta causing us to miss our connecting flight in Brussels. Lucky for us we got to spend the day in Brussels! We ate wonderful food and walked around tried wonderful chocolates of course...but nope, no mussels in Brussels. We then flew to Paris (CDG) to pick people up and continue on to Adis Ababa which is in Ethiopia. We tried food there but it was a little too spicy for my liking. We had about 6 hours in Ethiopia where we then continued on to Entebbee (Uganda). When we got out of the plane and walked to the airport it was almost like a heat wave struck you. It is a little humid but not nearly as bad as Georgia. Luckily there is a nice wonderful breeze here. We finally got to where we are staying which is the Makerere University. We are staying at their guest house.

The mosquito nets are interesting to sleep with but I will tell you what they make it a lot easier to sleep. I do not think I have gotten bitten yet and I have been taking my malaria meds so I am not too worried about malaria just the fact of getting bitten. I am not a fan of mosquitoes good news there are ton of lizards right outside (and even some inside) that take care of those guys for us!

I am trying to get on a good time schedule. We woke up early this morning to eat breakfast and head to The Acorn School which is run by our hosts Ann and Trevor. The school is a pre-k school and it is wonderful. No florescent lighting or anything it is all natural lighting. They have lights of course just in case it is cloudy but so far nothing but sunshine. It cools off really well in the evening. We also got to see a little bit of Kampala today (where we are staying) it is wonderful. We were called Muzungus a bunch that translates to white people or almost tourists. Not negatively it is just not many Muzungus.

We are getting a more up to date itinerary which will be good. I hope to update again soon but sometimes internet is hard to get here. There are computers here but you never know how the internet will be!

That's all for now!

GONE!!!

I leave today at 5:45! Feel free to give me a call and say goodbye! I again want to thank everyone who has helped me get to where I am today. I will miss everyone however, I can not wait for this exciting new journey!
