it's good to be back

to catch you up:

we arrived at Entebbe airport around 10:30pm Uganda time and were very pleased to meet our host - Apollo (pronounced like apple-o) who was one of our hosts on our last visit to Uganda

he led us out of the airport to where our transportation was waiting with our driver, Anthony (pronounced Anthony) who was also one of our previous hosts

arriving in the dark is always a little disorienting for people, especially if they’ve never been to a place before

we arrived at our guest house (also where we had stayed before) around 1am and were all very ready for bed

by 5:30am the rooster in the alley behind us was already doing his best to get us up and going...followed quickly by the call to prayer at the local mosque and a stray dog

but the morning would come and it’s great to be back

7 of us have been here previously - but for Vic, Tim, Marianne and Kelsey - this is all new

we enjoyed a delicious breakfast from our great guest house and then off to Watoto Central for our orientation and welcome

after an impromtu high school musical invite we headed for lunch (see previous post)

we returned to the guest house and everyone is ready for bed by 6pm - but are trying to push to a late 8 to turn in

we’re heading back to Watoto Central for churchy-church and then more good times before our journey to Gulu to start building
