Arrived in Uganda!

We are here!

First things first: rundown!
* Arrived in NYC, met the rest of the orientation team: 2 other nurses, an electrical engineer, and an occupational therapist heading to Namibia; and a psych major who is staying here in Uganda
* traveled to London where we had an excellent day in town-experienced "the tube" (plus: didn't get lost), Big Ben, the River Thames, a little bar for traditional fish n chips, and the most fantastic British Museum
* overnight flight to Entebee, Uganda! Currently staying in Matoke Inn, just outside Kampala, the capitol of Uganda

We are planning to stay here through Tuesday, when we will go to our final destination: Jinja!

Several things have been done for the first time:
Experienced a boda-boda, a motorbike, sidesaddle. VERY fun :)
Left my hair down all day without styling it.
Used a laptop in Africa.

It is only the beginning of the new experiences :) Hopefully they'll be more exciting as time goes on ;) I look forward to sharing more with you
