How exciting, I went to London, well at least the airport. The trip from
the US to London was around 5 1/2 hours, then the trip from London to
Entebbe was about 7 hours. We flew in between the Nile and Red Sea for most
of the time but pretty much followed the Nile the whole time. I love
international planes! You get warm meals, except the flight from London to
Entebbe which had no vegetarian options. We stayed in a hotel in Entebbe the
first night because it is too dangerous to travel on the roads at night. We
got in around 10pm Uganda time which is 2pm back home. We are 8 hours ahead
here. The next day we drove for over 5 hours to get to Engeye. The ride was
very interesting. Everywhere we drove, people on the sides of the roads
would give us the weirdest looks an yell muzungu. We stopped a couple times
and when we did the little kids would come from all over and just say
muzungu and wave and high five us. They are sooooo cute! The food is really
good, good thing since we are having the same food for the next 15 days!! I
spent my time in the village yesterday going down to the water hole, and
setting up malaria netting on the bunk beds. Today (Tuesday) I worked with
the afternoon program which goes till 5, sooo much fun! The health clinic
didn't open till today but people were lined up here yesterday. Uganda is a
beautiful place
