Well...I am finally able to post a blog as I am writing it. This is a nice change.
One more amazing day in Kampala. I was able to get settled into my temporary office and our house is becoming a little more like a home.
We only worked until 12:30 today, so I was able to have a few small adventures. One other embassy worker, Chelsie, lives right beside the intern house so I spent the afternoon hanging out with her and her two boys. She has opened her doors (and her pool) to us for the summer, which was fantastic! I am actually over here now and we just had dinner and she has allowed us to use her wifi until we are able to get a router or something installed. Her home is beautiful and looks out over Lake Victoria. Until I came here today, I had no clue we were only about half a mile from the lake.
I also got the chance to go to the store today which is great to have just a mile down the road. It is only a 15 ish minute walk from our house. It has most of the essentials, however I am pretty sure we will we will have someone to help do our produce shopping for us since it wont be very easy for us to go during the week (and we aren't experienced in purchasing the produce and negotiating prices).
I am starting to feel so comfortable already and can't believe that it has only been 48 hours since I have been here. I think we will be going into the city tomorrow and I can't wait! AND ITS A LONG WEEKEND WHICH IS AMAZING!!!! I can't wait to take the chance to explore!
Hi Lauren!
ReplyDeleteCoach Denny here. I am so proud of you and your accomplishments! As your old Modern World History teacher, I can't wait to read more about your experiences in Uganda. I love seeing all the geography and Ugandan history you've posted already. Also, I wanted to let you know that I thought of you last week when I had a young lady tie your pole vault school record last week at the District track meet. Please stay safe and keep the blogs coming.
In my thoughts and prayers,
Joel Denny
