We managed to publish some of our pictures. It takes a long time but they turned out really good. Just to update you, last weekend we went to Uganda to see some Rotary projects. We flew into Entebbe airport and Rotarian Timothy picked us up and drove us into Kampala. Kampala is a large busy city, lots of traffic, noise and lots of clubs, bars. We found Kampala to be more upbeat than Kigali but it might have been we were with Rotarians who could show us around.

Timothy drove us to our accomodations for our stay. It was the home of Rotarian Peter, a very nice home complete with hot water showers, flush toilets. We got a warm welcome from Peter & his wife Margaret and their daughter Meg. After a rest it was off to a Rotary meeting, out for beer and then home for late supper. Next day was more Rotary, more beer and another late supper. The schedule in Uganda is breakfast at 8am, lunch about 5pm and then supper about 10pm. Friday a trip out of town to see a technical school!!! project and then our goats & heifers project. A great day, we saw lots of countryside and met some of the students in the
school. A stop at the equator for a picture and then it was home for a traditional Ugandan supper, fish, baked bananas , chicken, rice, beet greens, egg plant and a few things we didn't know. Probably some mystery meat in some things. It was a great meal and a great experience.

The next day we are off with Dr. Alice Kagoda, a professor at a university in Kampala and a director of the Bussano school. We stopped at the source of the Nile , bottom end of Lake Victoria, and did a bit of shopping. Dr. Alice is a delightful woman who showed us a great day. We went to her school where they had a program of speeches, songs, dance, and a great lunch. Do you get the idea we are eating & drinking our way through Africa. Dr. Alice has done a wonderful job with this school of about 330 children. She is looking for a teacher to come & spend a couple of months and do some upgrade training for her teachers. It would be a really cool job for a couple of months. Then it was home for a beer and out to supper at a French restaurant hosted by Peter & Margaret. This meal was as good as anything we have eaten anywhere.

We took the bus home so we could see the countryside, a 9 hour journey. Glad to be home and it is back to our volunteer job.

We met with Rev. Gatera, a Rwandan minister we met in Edmonton before we left. He was very insightful on the Rwandan culture.

Gota go for now, more later.
