Greetings all, SO as the title states, I have a little over two weeks left. So time has passed both slow and fast. I have become quite acclimatized to this place. I can preform all the duties in the lab with ease and don't feel out of place at all here. They are such welcoming people here...I would definitely recomend anyone to come here to Uganda. I feel as though maybe I left a few things out for the people at home reading these. Things like what are the children like here (for those whose children are also reading this), the [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone So this Saturday I went with some of my Hospital mates to Sipi Falls. Its 45 min drive outside of Mbale heading towards Kapchorwa, at the base of Mt. Elgon. The trip was sensational. We walked for over 4 hours touring the area and looking at the 3 falls. The first and largest water fall can be seen from the Lodge where started from. We got some pictures at the lodge over-looking the cliffs towards the water fall. It was massive. We headed over to the second falls. It was truly amazing.

So i got a computer to post on finally... Well I got into Uganda on monday. Stayed a a little place in Entebbe that was really something. Looked like a place out of a jungle mansion, but smaller. It was really nice. Tuesday morning i headed to Mbale in a rickety old toyota corolla. Let me tell you, that was an experience. Along the way, my driver was pulled over by the highway police that control the speeding that always occurs on the roads here. He was pulled over for over-taking a big truck while going over speed-bumps. I guess [View Full Entry]
