addition to wish list. . .

Hammocks don't exist in Uganda, but the perfect spot for one does: between my two mango trees. . .

FAST


Marcy


A quick post to give updates . . .

1. In-Service Training in Kampala for the whole of last week. Learned quite a bit. Quite a bit of fun. Thank goodness for returning to the village.

2. Peace Corps came to rectify the challenges of my site. After discussing the issues with the correct people, they sprang into action. The Safety and Security Coordinator is "the man."

3. While in Kampala, I went to Oweeno Market. Imagine Central Park filled with kiosks to the point of chaos, selling everything imaginable. I bought 2 pairs of Diesel jeans for 40,000 Ush, or $20.

4. After all my Meflo dreams, fevers and migraines, they finally switched me to Doxy.

5. I returned to find that my garden exploded with life. My pumpkins are quickly taking over all of Serere. . .

6. My beard is coming along. . . . I'll be a lumberjack someday.

7. Life is good.
