Tight Spaces

Yesterday was a Kampala day - we left early in the morning, arrived, did the necessary shopping, came home and crashed. I was so excited to head to Kampala I could hardly stand it! Usually, I'm a bit 'eh' about going to Kampala, but yesterday, I had an unusual yearning to be in the big city. It turned out to be a wonderful and productive trip there and we arrived back safely to Kasana before dark.

While in Kampala, we journeyed down a road that kept me on my toes. The man driving the van should be given an award for the amazing way that he was able to maneuver the vehicle in tight spaces, deep washouts and basically impassable pathways. Sometimes I think that nothing can surprise me any more, but then I am reminded yes, things can.

This is the first time that I have been out of my home country to celebrate my country's Independence Day. I still haven't figured out how I feel about it, but today should be a fun celebration with fellow Americans. Hamburgers, potato salad, chips - Oh for American cuisine!
