I hate Buses.

Alright, so we left Fort portal to go on the safari yesterday morning. We were on the bus for about 8 hours. It sucked the big one. So when we got there we discovered that we were pretty much camping in the wild. Jaki and I shared a hut and there were tons of wild animals outside our hut ALL night long. It was a little scary knowing that there were lions out there somewhere. I didnt really sleep because it was hot in there and Jaki was all over the bed. Plus, I was very well aware that there were huge bugs all around us (even tho we had a net over the bed). The safari was pretty cool i guess, but it was chilly outside and there werent too many animals out. We did hike up this steep mountain tho, and the view was totally worth it.

I am kinda crunched for time, so I'll blog when I get home.

We are back in Kampala for the remaining 2 days of the trip ( i cant believe how fast this all flew by) and it is definitly nice to be back at the motel we started at. It took us 10 hours to get here today, and I think its safe to say that we all hate buses. The End.

R.I.P. Dirty Little Garden Lobster.....

Here's a fun story for you. Randi and I were playing Wii bowling in the basement, and my parents came home from dinner with some work people. We go upstairs to say hi and my mom turns to me and asks "Do you know why there is a lobster in our garden?" My first thought was that a neighbor put a ceramic lobster in the dirt as some sort of weird joke... you know, to see how long it took us to notice it or something..... but no. Apparantly there is some sort of REAL (but dead) crustacean on the side of the garage. So naturally, we have to grab the flashlight out of the closet and go investigate. Are they really being serious? Or is this some sort trap that we are going into so they can sneak up on us and scare the crap out of us? No..... sure enough, right by the gate, there is a little 4 inch lobster that is dead on its back. Its covered in dirt..... and a few ants, but its real. I find this kinda funny, because my question is "where the hell did it come from?" I kn...

Safe Travels....

I wonder if anyone even still reads this or not. Oh well. For those of you who dont know, I was not able to go back to Uganda this summer. (Its really sad and im really upset about it) However, most of the team was able to! Andy, Kevin and Glenna went out there about a week ago and the rest of the team is leaving tonight around 9:30pm. I wish you all safe travels, and most of all, have fun! I want all of you to know that I am already saving for next years trip! I already have about $100! I know, I know, its nowhere near enough, but thats why im starting now. Not being able to go this summer made me realize how much I love it there, and I guess you can say that lit a fire under my ass to get moving! Again, to my friends leaving today, and to my friends who are already there..... I hope you have a great trip. Be safe (Drew, try not to cut your own sugar cane if you can help it, and Jaki, watch your leg on the Bodas!), enjoy the smiles, and most of all, have fun while helping people! Im p...
