New Arrivals

The first week in Kampala was a blur. We just came from a country that is roughly the size of Delaware with about 1.8 million people spread out across the whole country. We are now living in a city with the same amount of people, as everyone says "the traffic is horrible" and at times it really can be. To put it into perspective Nikki's office is about 2 miles from our house we can walk that distance in about 30 minutes, however sidewalks don't exist here either and neither do traffic lanes or laws. So its safer to be wrapped in steel when venturing out, but this doubles the travel time. Aside from traffic its a pretty interesting place, we can get lots of beer, pretty much any type of food in the stores, any type of restaurants as well as the usual amenities of clothes and electronics. The downside is that cost can be pretty high. The country is very clean, this is a stark contrast to The Gambia where trash is a part of the landscape where ever you go. The weather is just about perfect, low 80s during the day and low 60s at night. We have a beautiful house up on a hill and we leave the doors and windows open all day to enjoy the breeze. This is the rainy month for the fall and when it does rain it really can RAIN. We are adjusting well and have already started planning our safari getaways.
