Here At Last

After flying from Brussels to France to Ethiopia to Uganda, we are finally here - and EXHAUSTED. Our flight from Paris to Ethiopia was ten hours and through the night. We all pretty much drugged ourselves with sleep aids and benadryl to ensure we would all sleep. We were also fortunate enough to be able to spread out and everyone had twp seats to themselves. I think I slept something around five hours straight. By the time I woke up, there was only an hour and a half of the flight left. Sleeping through the night on plane has helped with jet lag a little, but we're all still very tired. I am not letting myself nap, so I will sleep well tonight.

We had a four hour layover in Ethiopia and were able to enjoy an Ethiopian lunch. I had some lamb mixed with something or other. I don't know exactly what I ate, but I liked it!

From Ethiopia, it took us another two hour flight to land in Uganda. It's unbelievable. I don't think words can explain it. I guess imagine jumping straight into a National Geographic magazine. So far the only animals we have seen are cows, goats, and chickens on the side of the road. However, next week we will be taking a safari, camping out for 2 or three nights in the wilderness.

As of now, not much going on. We're just chilling in the Guest House at Makerere University in Kampala. We will get our agenda for the week tonight. For the next week it is me and four students, the professor, her "esteemed colleague," and a representative from the global learning institute at KSU. Melanie (KSU rep) and UKJ (esteemed colleague) will leave after ten or so days and it will be the six women!

Signing out for now... Miss everyone!
