Laura and I spoiled ourselves with pedicures and got my hair blowdried. Seems silly and vain but what a luxury after almost 6 weeks of living in a truck and sleeping in a tent. Uganda is beautiful. Spent 2 days in Kenya but did not see very much of it other than what I saw from my seat on the truck. Joined a new group pf people on Monday as everyone else tr http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Uganda/Central-Region/Kampala/blog-425570.html Hi everyone I'm so sorry it's been so long between entries.
