Hello form Uganda! wow sounds kinda funky to say that to be honest. being here is most definitely like a dream. thats all i can say right now. to be honest everything seems to perfect. the people are fantastic, the food is good ( only carbs though hmmm) , the weather is fabulous, the scenery is beautiful, the sleep is pretty decent considering, my DTS group is so awesome, oh and I conquered the 'squattie potties' yippie! the only thing that isn't so great is the spiders... oh man. they are about the size of my middle finger. creepy huh?? so glad i have Jesus. i hired some of the guys here to kill them for me. wanna know what else is a bummer? my camera... well it somehow managed to not tag along with me after i got out of the cab from the airport... my bad. butttttt looks as if i MIGHT get it back. fingers crossed. oh, they gave us a plate for all of our meals that we bring to our meals and then eat and wash it and bring it back to our rooms. interesting thing to master. oh yea! i saw a monkey on the base!!!!! that is my highlight to this day. they were giving us a tour on a very fixed schedule and then we saw him and lost interest in anything else he was saying. oh well. the base borders a sugar cane plantation which is pretty awesome except that they told us that the men there are not good. they have raped muzungu women that have walked along the border of the base and plantation at early mornings and late nights. kinda creepy. but now i know where I'm NOT going at that time. but funny thing is that it is the most beautiful place to watch the sunset in the morning. right over lake victoria, so gorgeous!! so we went there this morning... don't worry a group of us did. but any who i have a lecture that starts in about 7 minutes so i must get there before i get slapped at(clapped) for being late. awesome haha.. i have never used a watch this much in my LIFE weird right? but there is a first for everything right?? well thats a different topic for another day..i mean post...blog?? idk. but its been real.
until next time,
Tess
Favorite parts to your blog today? First, to read it! Second, to hear you hired people to kill spiders for you. That's our girl. Uncle Rob would say he would kill mine and then let them drop on my bedroom floor and leave. Nice.
ReplyDeleteAnother part was you saying it's been real. It's perfect how you talk out loud on the blog, Tess. You are having a conversation with all of us, as tho you are in a room right around the corner.
I love you.
Mom
I love that you hired someone to kill the spiders for you! You are helping the Ugandan economy! I hope you get your camera back. I am so glad that you are blogging so that we can stay in touch with you!
