We arrived in Uganda at 11pm on January 4th. The 30+ hours of travel were taxing, but the turbulence over the Alps took the cake. I was feeling the pain, while Memphis was yelling WEEEEEEE for all the plan to enjoy. Honestly, I like to fly. I remember walking out of the Jungle; the flight in was an hour and a half, the walk out, 14 days. So, yes, I like to fly.
After contacting the paternities, we got into bed and woke up at the Baptist mission headquarters. The mission property in Kampala is more than sufficient. We are comfortable and full up on Ugandan food and Kenyan Tea. Today, we went out on the town. We got phones, bought food, and did a little language learning. The Ugandans working for the mission are great. They have helped us with everything from turning on the power to buying soap. The city of Kampala has everything anyone might need. We will be here in the mission house for the next week or two and than then it is off to the bush, but first, we still have a stack of paperwork to complete, a few things to buy, and some fuel injectors on the truck are in need of repair, oh yes, the meetings, we still have to meet with the leadership and then it is off to the bush!
I hungrily read every word of your post. Am discovering you don't seem so very far away when I can communicate with you. Thanks for the posts for any communication is a lifeline.
ReplyDeleteBy bush do you mean the house in Entebbe (? sp)?
ReplyDeleteNo, Entebbe is just outside the capital and is a big city.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm curious as to what it means when you say you will be going to the bush?
ReplyDeleteI love traveling but hate flying if that makes sense. The Kenyan tea is some good stuff...
