PICTURES!

This is the first time I have had internet since the group met. I am currently sitting in a cute coffee shop down the street from our hotel, and they have had to restart the internet twice in a half hour. I'm glad I have good company. With any luck I will get all of my pictures posted.

So loading pictures took a REALLY long time so here are a few. This is the family that hosted me for my first week in Kampala. It is Jessica, Nelson, and their son Daniel. They have four more children that I had the opportunity to spend time with but only two of them live at home.

Here is their home

This is Quinto (the man who kindly drove me while in Kampala), myself, and Doreen (Another one of Jessica and Nelson's children). We visited Jinja and took a boat around part of the Nile. After the boat trip we went to Ntanda Falls which is one set of rapids on the Nile. I was super jealous of the rafters and kayakers we watched. 

After my stay with these wonderful people I went to Entebbe to meet my group. We are now in Gulu and are staying in a hotel together until Tuesday. One Tuesday we are going to our home-stays. We have been getting to know each other, learning about the area, starting to learn the local language (Acholi), playing cards and eating a LOT of food. I don't think I have been hungry since I arrived in Uganda. Right now I am anxious to start classes, nervous about using the language, and looking forward 

to our group excursions.
