The Ugandan people are wonderful. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Life is bustling, but there is a slow-flow to it if that makes sense.


As I’ve said before, I wish you could experience life here with us:

- the smell of fresh samosas and coal fires.
- the sound of morning prayers and 3+ million people in ebb and flow.
- the feel of the warm/hot sun beaming on your face and your skin sticky from the humidity.
- the taste of those delicious samosas you were smelling before and the matake made fresh for breakfast this morning.
- the sight of pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, cabs, trucks, buses, cows, goats and everything else weaving in and out as if in a choreographed dance and the precious children with faces smiling as they greet us as we go by.

You know those people who travel – the ones who automatically become far better than everybody else because they’ve ‘travelled’? Yeah – those people are annoying.

I can honestly say, for us here in Uganda – we’re not those people. We’re just the average ones blessed enough to be able to come and experience.

Thanks for continuing to read and journey along with us – we don’t take that for granted.
