In other news though (and I am sure my mom is wondering why the hell I bothered mention the food as my intro to this post, so this part must come as a welcome change in topic), the weather is great, it is sunny but not too hot, and Uganda is a beautiful country. we arrived last night shortly after sunset in Entebbe, and from the get go the process of getting used to Uganda was jump started in getting our visas. The immigration people decided to collect our passports (23 of us) together, go through them one at a time, and then they tried to send us to baggage claim, saying they would bring us our documents in a little bit. Needless to say, that didn't fly, and we took turns standing there and pulling our luggage off the baggage claim because they took so long. But we got out, got our luggage in order, all have our passports, and drove to Jinja. We got here around midnight, and there were some hotel issues involving space, so 12 of us had to go to a different hotel (myself included), which is now going to house the rest of us as they are moving there this afternoon, and... Everything is kind of organized chaos.
My host mom, Mama Robinah, is hosting the entire group for lunch on Wednesday, and I am excited to meet her. She apparently lives very close to our current hotel.
Not to be abrupt, but I am out of time.
Later!
