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

WAHOO my sister is in Africa (still so surreal for me) and enjoying red dirt such like the red clay here :0) probably a bit duster though. Well I am SO happy to hear that you made it safe eventhough it was a bumpy ride! I can't wait to hear from you again!
PS Nathan and I bought two (used) 4-wheelers last weekend-yep I am becoming a country girl, I know you are proud!! LOVE ya tons and I miss you eventhough you might not miss me :0)
Crazy crazy lady--I'm going to use that in my repertoire. I'm tan, no, I'm dirty, but I thought I was tan! Miss talking to you on the phone! Don't forget about your search for t-shirt stands (LOL). I'm going to interview at Argosy U. next week! Blog it up soon!
Sounds like it is an amazing experience. Glad to hear you are in Gulu. I'm finally done with work and workshops. I have 4 weeks off until the next workshop. Maybe some projects will get done. I can't wait to hear more.
Take care and enjoy every moment.
Love ya Mom
Hello from the gang-Glad to hear you got there safely. Sorry, but I think we got you beat on the tan. What an exciting time for you, I hope you have a great time. Sorry, I didn't write sooner, but I forgot to put a dot and I couldn't get on (go figure). Take care. Lots of love sent your way.
I would trade place with you in a heart beat.
Enjoy your time there!
Live life to the fullest!
Learn all that you can!
Take care!
