I have been horrible at updating my blog, and for that I apologize to all my faithful readers (read: my mother). So back to it:
Ahh yes, the Pearl of Africa. I love when countries/cities decide to give themselves awesome sounding nicknames. Especially when they don't really make sense. I'm not saying that Uganda is decidedly not the pearl of Africa, I just don't quite understand how it acquired such a lofty name. Wikipedia was of no help. Anybody on the interwebs know? Either way I am now in possession of a sweet key chain that proudly states the above.
Back at school in the motherland. On a hiatus until my next travels!
Please be aware that the views expressed in this blog are my own and are not shared by the organizations that I work with. In addition, this is merely a blog - please do not take what I say as fact or view it as journalistic reporting.
Unfortunately there may be a shortage of pictures due to slow internet but hopefully you can all figure out how to read my spelling errors. Enjoy!
