guess where we are??

hello!!!!!

we arrived safely and soundly in Uganda, after way too much time on the plane...and sitting in airports- we were happy to drive into Kampala early Monday morning. how to describe kampala?? well...wow traffic...lots of people...constant shouts of "how are you muzungu?"....people taking pictures of us (we felt like a herd of safari animals...people pointing etc)...red streets - however people managed to stay impeccably well dressed and clean (showing up all of us)...never seen a 25 seater bus do so many impressive 3 point turns/backing out of tight spaces - they know their vehicles! giant ugly stork birds...and new cell phones for all

yes. it's true emily and bryony have officially embarked on their first ever co-ownership of a cell phone. give us a ring: 011 256 75 2682952. (it is free for us to receive incoming calls - check out our link to find good calling cards)

we are going to attempt to post some pictures...however they may not work!

we drove many hours...to arrive in Mbarara. we crossed the equator - where we stopped and witnessed a 'science experiment' - and yes, the water really does go down the drain in opposite directions on either side of the equator (and straight down when you are right on top of it - who knew?)

it will be another week or so before we reach our final destination of Bushara Island.

talk to you soon??

How great to hear that you arrived - it felt like a "black hole" for a while.

I will be watching for your posts......

Yay!!!
I am so excited for you guys!
Have some fun and interesting travels.
I bet it's a lot warmer where you are than here. We had a mini blizzard in Chicago on Thursday. Great fun for October 12.
*hugs for you of you*
