What day is it anyway?

I have been here for almost two weeks, and I'm already losing track of the days. And I do apologize for not posting really much of anything. I will try to be better and the power has been great lately, so I won't have that excuse to stop me.

This week has been one of much traveling, in all forms. I went to Kampala and Entebbe on Monday to pick up my luggage, fix a phone and pick up a few things on my enormous list of items I forgot to pick up when I first arrived. I have been making various trips to Kiwoko to gather things and drop off people - I'm even learning how to drive on the 'wrong' side of the car and the 'wrong' side of the road. The hardest part of driving here is learning how close I can get to the ditch before falling in, in order to allow enough room for oncoming vehicles. But I can remember the words of my grandfather - "Stay between the ditches," and that is what I am hoping for.

I went to David Family on Tuesday and it was so good to see them again! And thank you to Gladys, my Luganda teacher, who helped me blow them all away when I answered a question that they asked in Luganda. They were convinced that I had no idea what they were asking, but ah ha, I did! Victory at last!

As I approach the weekend, I have a new creature to keep an eye out for - the kids found a 9 foot long Python skin shed -- yes I guess I am in Africa!
