The drive to Kirongo (Chir-on-go) seemed like a very long roller coaster ride. The roads were dry - and red Ugandan dust swelled up with every lorry or car that passed. In some places the roads were very narrow - we drove through many villages ... there was a class underway beneath the shade of a big tree - we stopped at some places to look at buildings or a hut and we were almost always swamped by children - children with tattered clothing and beautiful faces - we were the spectacle - the thing that didn't fit the others ... the smiles were a miracle to behold. THEN, later my heart starts questioning will they have water, food, a place to sleep, love, care, education - what is their life really like?

Nancy!
I want to hear more about Africa (and also the rest of your life). Are you going to visit the Blue House? Who are you traveling with?

Marci - I've got lots of more posts to make - I don't know if I'll get them all out before I leave here - I didn't have time to get to Kazo - everything that I am doing is in the southeast area of Uganda in the Basoga region. I miss you and look forward to getting to know each other better! Nancy
