Uganda!

Hey guys!  Sorry I have not had Wifi the last couple of days.  I successfully made it back from Congo and will be in Uganda for the remainder of the trip.  We spent 3 nights in Kabale at a resort called Entusi.  It was incredibly beautiful and it sits directly on Lake Benyoni.  Those were our down days before research really kicked off.  I did alot of reading by the lake, hiking in and around the villages, canoed, and other relaxing non useful things.  It was very enjoyable.

Yesterday we had an 8 hour bus ride from Kabal to Kampala the capital of Uganda.  It is a HUGE city.  I love the vibe here.  We had dinner at a Mediterrainan resturant and met the man who supplies tea for Tevana and Celestial Seasonings (I think).  His plantation is in Rwanda.  So that was pretty neat.  We are staying in a guest house here in Kampala, and I am on day 5 without a hot shower, so that is exciting!

Today we went into town and met a woman who has built a business around producing and selling peanut butter and honey. Then we went and  saw the slums of Kampala and visited the free hospital.  It was all rather interesting.  Then we went to Makerere University, the campus is beautiful, and had lunch there.  It took us 2 hours to get back to the guest house we are staying in, about 5 miles away from the University.  So that was fun.  We are Boad Boading to dinner tonight ( hpping on the back of a moter cycle) so that should be fun!!

I still love it here, even though it is super hot.  We head up north to Gulu tomorrow and really start our research there.  We are meeting our research team tonight!!
