back from Uganda!!!! and had an epic time.
we left at three and drove through Nairobi-- a pretty ugly and sketch city , but then again what developing city isnt idk. the highlight of that legof the ride was hitting paved road--godamn potholes made the bus jump like crazy. from nairobi we finally got to Jinja in Uganda at 10 am the next day wamp wamp. oh well part of hte adventure. the rafting place was b-e-autiful --a huge deck overlooking hte nile and--wait for it--hot showers! the first real shower i have had in a month, it was glorious. ate breakfast on the deck the next morning, and then bungee jumped waaah! i tandum jumped with hannah- it was the most petrifying thing i have ever done, but definitely definitely worht it--(desolee maman ne sois pas en colere i couldnt pass it up!). too bad we couldnt go for free :] we rafted the next day all day, stopped for lunch on an island ---the most delicious pineapple i have ever tasted-- and then rafted till almost sundown. rafted again today and then hoppped back on the bus . the ride back home was slightly more miserable just because i wasnt able to pass out as much, but oh well. now i am back in Arusha--tomorrow Im going to sit in on a trial case at the UN Rwanda tribunal that is stationed in Arusha, and then hopefully take a bus to Moshi, a town at the base of Kilimanjaro. We head bakc to babati on sunday for two more weeks of teaching, than were done. time you are crazy. cant wait! love lvoe
