We are here!

We are here….yes. It did take a while. We finally got into Jinja Saturday afternoon. We had yet another fun drive from the guesthouse to here. The van that we were driving decided to not go any faster than 12mph so what would have took us like 15mins took us like an extra hour. Can’t really complain cause we got to see more. I love the colours here everything is so bright, rich and deep. The dirt is so red it makes the green of the trees look so deep lush. The colours of the little hut/shack’s are also so colourful and bright. Another thing I noticed straight away was that people are walking along the road in the traffic everywhere. In Kampala it was so busy and everyone was everywhere. Was funny to see at first. When we got more into the country it was strange to see people walking along side the road like they do. I don’t know why it seems strange. Everyone it doing something, talking, working or just hanging out and taking their time.

Was nice to meet everyone at the house. They are really nice and made us feel welcome. Meeting Betty and was awesome. She is so lovely and was very happy for us to be here.

We went to dinner by the Nile. Could not ask for a better view while you eat. We saw the sun go down and can hear the birds in the trees next to us. Bug s are not as bad as I thought they would be….could not really see what we had in front of us by the time we got our food. Most likely ate a few hundred fly’s… yum.

Yesterday (Sunday) we went and met the women of Suubi. That was very cool to see these women and be welcomed by them. We sat there and took everything in, well tried too. I loved just being they’re and watching them and talking to them and watching the other volunteer’s work with them and how the relationships between them have grown. The kids there where so funny and swarmed you as soon as you got there. Stole Dillon’s Polaroid pictures. That was funny. Sorry Dillon.
Was so tired by the time we got back. Was an exciting day. Will have pictures for all to see.
