We're finally coming home!!!

21 days after landing in Entebbe Airport, dozens of meetings, & handfuls of life-chaging experiences later, we find ourselves in the waning days of our adventurous trip. From meeting w/ members of Parliment to the people of the community, Uganda has becaome a second home to us. However, we are all excited to return to see all of y'all back in the States.

"Mzungu(the local term for white person), give me some money," the crowded mutatu rides, & scorching sun haven't yet gotten too old, neither have the wonderful people we continuously get to meet. Last week, we presented at the kick-off event for the United Way Uganda & it looks like we're going to have a very fulfilling partnership w/ them here.

This past week was spent doing a lot of R&R, especially after that bald guy w/ the bull whip left...just kidding - we love you Jeremy & you better be @ the airport to pick us up. But we went to the Source of the Nile, which is perhaps the most beautiful piece of scenery we've ever seen. Days later, we found ourselves still sunburnt from the Nile, on a beach along Lake Victoria. So it hasn't been all work & no play for us.

We hear that it's a tundra back in Maryland & that there is a chance that classes won't even start on time which is good news for all of us. We are working on a plethora of initiatives here that we want to get going on back in the states, so some down time when we return is exactly what we need. While we definitely haven't gotten enough of Uganda, we think Uganda has probably gotten enough of us.

Anyway, sorry for the lack of blogs while we've been away & the shortness of them. We promise we will tell y'all about the trip in person which will be even better. See y'all in a few days!

Go Terps, Pace, & Carpe Diem,
Pat
