July 16th

Uganda has been exciting and thrilling to me.  This morning we had eggs for breakfast.  After breakfast we went to Kokombo where I met new friends.  On the way to Kokombo we saw a bike attached to a Boda-Boda.  I don't know how it stayed on.  We finally left Kokombo and headed to a village far, far away.  The road to the village was very windy and bumpy.  Along the way we thought we heard parts falling off.  Thankfully, Kyemba is a trained mechanic and knew what to do when we arrived at our destination and his car ran out of gas and died.  Of course, after putting in gas, he still had to re-apply wires that had burned up.  Needless to say, this wasn't the first car repair he's made.  In the far, far away village we met the newly elected local community leaders and the mothers seeking treatment for their sick babies.  I started out helping Julie with the malaria test but we both found other jobs.  We had some great team bonding today!  On the way back to Musana guess what?!  The van broke down but never doubt Kyemba! He came through again and got us home safe and sound.  Before dinner was ready I learned a new card game.  Julie taught me speed.  I actually won the second game.  (She went easy on me.)

We are all pretty tired and are winding down while playing cards.  See ya later, alligator!

 

 

After while, crocodile!
