Well i finally made it here to Uganda after have a few troubles on the way over! i almost missed my flight from san francisco to london i was running through the airport(i'm sure i looked really funny) mom you were right every one way very helpful and friendly! well in london i was informed that my bags were lost so i had to go back and forth between terminals to finally get my bags to the right place! it took four hours to do so! but another man traveling to paris had the same problem! lets just say that i now know my way round the heathrow airport! On my flight to kenya i talked to a guy going to the world cup and while we were on the plane the UK vs US game was going to we were making bets on who would win.. it was a tie! After the flight he was really nice and walked me to the next plane i was suppose to get on nicest guy ever! I didn't meet up with anyone from our group until my flight to UGANDA!!
I made it here safe and sound with NO BAGS i should have know that was going to happen! every one is so nice and letting me use all their stuff. I LOVE IT HERE! it reminds me of Thailand but not as hot and a lot more dirty! when we throw the garbage out we jsut throw it in the streets WEIRD and then they come by and burn it! we have cooks that make our dinner which is delicious but we eat a lot of bananas so sick i can't believe i am eating them! we also have a guard his name is morris he is funny!
Today was my first day out on the streets so megan and i went up the the Kampaula hospital to a physical therapy clinic and worked there for the morning. Mom you would not believe how many kids have drop foot its crazy! the lady grace who runs it says she will never take her kids to a clinic for shots or anything else because of the problems that arise from it. I noticed you have to have a little british accent in order to communicate with the people i have a feeling i am coming home with an accent!
I love it here though it is so green and every one is so friendly the little kids always coming running up holding our hands saying mzungu( white person) they are so cute though! \i am sharing a room with seven other girls it is way fun and our room is the garage never would have thought i would be sleeping in a garage but i love it its actually better then the rooms in the house. Well mom i am sorry you weren't there to answer when i called but it was nice to talk to James! Sorry if my spelling sucks but these keys are sticking really bad!!!!!
Dad and Mom i just wanted to say thanks for letting me come and do this i am loving it here! o and i just found out my bags came but i don't get to get them until Wednesday because we are so far away from the airport! I LOVE six day old clothes!
well until next time!
