A Little Bit of Uganda

We left Dubai in the morning, and boarded another flight to Entebbe, via Ethiopia. Despite being 6 hours in length, the flight breezed by, and I even met a nice flight attendant from Malaysia. He was a trained engineer, but decided he didn't want to be an engineer after he completed his degree. He signed a 3-year contract with Air Emirates as a flight attendant, and when it was up he was planning to return to Malaysia and run a touring business. He was very extroverted, and probably would have been good at it.
This is the best picture I could get of Ethiopia, as Chip, who was sitting next to the window was asleep and I didn't want to wake him up. Ethiopia was beautiful in its own way - dry and arid with flat-topped trees, exactly like in The Lion King.

Anyway, after continuing our flight, we landed smoothly in Entebbe and exited the plane into brilliant sunshine and 25 degree heat. I donned my sunglasses and shed my sweater, ready for anything. Actually, I felt drained, but I was extremely happy to be exactly where I was.

Dominic, the headmaster of the school/orphanage where we were going met us in the parking lot. He was equipped with two taxis and two drivers to transport our luggage to Tabiro. He gave each member of the team a hug and, because we have met before, he said to me, "So, you are in Uganda now." I was so zonked, and all I could think of to say was, "Yes. Yes I am."

What could I say? I was.
