Hello from the actual CHCC UGANDA team...writing from Gulu on May 27th, 2009! We finally have internet access and can connect with you.
This is Tami. The trip so far is amazing! Kampala-a crowded city, lots of traffic, and a city where everything is burned. Trash, open fire for burning. A very strong smell.
The ride from Kampala to Gulu was about 6 hours. Nine of us plus 21 bags crammed into a van together. The van ride for me was fascinating! It was my very first time in Africa..so much to see, so much to experience. The many trees, tall grass, baboons on the side of the rode, and monkeys at the Nile River crossing! Oh--and the Nile...wow...what a powerful river...I am glad baby Moses was safe.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I will stop ANYWHERE to use the bathroom. I don't need a toilet, solid ground will work. From Kyrgyzstan, to Russia, and now the African bush. I had to go, the nearest bathroom on the road was hours away.......the bush was calling.
So we stopped, I popped out of the car...did my business, and then out of the bush..popped 4 little African children, curious about who these Muzungus (white people) were.
It was a precious moment! On to Gulu! Tami
