Winding Down

Well, I have reached the end of my time in Uganda. It has been very interesting and I think we got a lot of good things accomplished. One great thing about Uganda is the wondeful bird life that is present. It is soo diverse. Now, I am no bird watcher and I couldn't tell you any of names of birds I've seen however, it is truly amazing to see the variety of birdlife that exist, even in a busy city like Kampala.

I am starting to wrap things up. I went down to the National Theater for a last minute shopping trip. There were many more stalls open than my first visit, probably because it wasn't raining. This town is certainly get itself ready for CHOGM (The Common wealth Head of Government Meeting). Starting next week 53 heads of state will be descending on to Kampala. So, the have tried to spruce the place up. However, they still need a lot more work, even the "sidewalk" (read dirt path) that I use to get down to Garden City got fixed up with a tarmac path instead of dirt. It's all very interesting to see what is getting fixed up. The one thing that is nice is that the traffic has lightened up a bit, so it's not too crazy anymore. I hope that my ride back to Entebbe goes smoothly.

Alright, I will try to make one more post before I take off for my long journey back to the states. Hope everyone is well.
