Hello All, life is good in Africa. Woke this morning to the birds singing and a cool morning. Very restful night at the Boma and a great breakfast then on to Kampala. We have a great driver and he is working on getting our luggage to us. There were 5 of us that did not get all the luggage and 2 of us did not get our clothes. The rest did not get suitcases that had supplies. There were several groups that did not get luggage at the airport. One group had 12 people and they were missing 17 bags. Because I had this happen before I was somewhat prepared and all is fine. It should be here by tomorrow. We shopped, I found a great skirt in case my clothes do not get here for church and some other things. Had lunch at the Garden City Mall Food Court. Increased security after the situation in Nairobi and this made us all feel better. Nic and Mosh, two of the kids I care for so much met us for lunch. They are in university there and it was good to catch up. Nic is the artist and he brought the canvases for me to bring back. They are beautiful. Cannot wait to share them with you all. The trip to Hoima was the usual, long and interesting. Saw 2 men walking down the road with live turkeys on their shoulders, just sitting there. Traffic is much heavier and we had a strong downpour while we were in Kampala but it passed quickly. We are now settled in Kijungu Hill Hotel, had a good dinner with wonderful pinapple, fresh peas, irish (that is white potatoes) and tough chicken. I am ready to get some more sleep and then head out to the Babies Home tomorrow for a hug or two or three. Life is good just a little difficult because of the clothes but I will make it. Love to all and will post tomorrow.
