Three weeks down

Hello again,
Here in Kampala for a few hours on our way to the Mukono District. Thought I'd pick up some items...a new camera, some stamps, find a shop to print photos. Yeah, some guy helped me break my camera so if I plan on taking any shots I either need a long slender screwdriver or an inexpensive newly purchased camera. Either way, it's annoying.
Now that I'm writing this I realized what other things I need to get done on the Internet...loans and banking.
Packing for five days it quite difficult when asked to bring stuff for running, the mosquito net that is ever essential, and clothes enough where I shouldn't have to wash too much thinking a basin nor iron will be very accessible.
Living without electricity or running water in the context of Uganda seems pretty normal, they have a pretty good system of Jerry cans and charcoal. The food is filling, but not necessarily nutritional, however, me being the starch eater that I am, I'm doing quite well...for the most part...don't think my digestive tract has quite caught on to the new diet though...but it has been only three weeks. Only three weeks...wow, may not see that long, but PC sure knows how to pack in the information. Good thing I have it all (most) written down.
This week, language immersion; we get to practice what we know and pick up on some that we may not know. Should be good. We will be shadowing a volunteer, getting the inside scoop on what we will are training to become in two months.
Some day I may get some pictures for you to see, but not yet...you'll have to patient along with me because I'd like to see some of the photos I have taken as well.

Until next time.
