Greetings from Gulu!!

Hello all!!!


I'm actually in Gulu!! It is amazing here. i feel that i will be at a loss for words to describe this experience so far, but I am in an internet cafe so my time is money!!

We arrived in Gulu last night after a 6 hour ride on a bus with 24 of us 4 to a row, over the bumpiest rodes you have ever seen! We are staying at a place called Christ the King compound. It is made up of a primary school, secondary school and to our surprise a teacher training school. Everyone is Uganda is so kind to eachother, sying hello to everyone you pass. And yes, Kathie the dirt is quite red! It hasn't rained in a week and a half, a record for this time of year, and dust is everywhere. I was beginning to think I actually had a tan until I took a shower! I can't write much more because we are ex[ected at dinner soon. My cheeks hurt from smiling so often here, but yes, I do miss you all too... a bit!

I promise to write more soon, now that I have found the cafe.
I'm off to enjoy my first bota ride. (it's a motorcycle that we ride onthe back of)
Talk soon! JO
