"Does that monkey have a blue butt?"

This first week of summer has been great!!! It totally feels like summer where the days blend together and trying to remember what had happened the previous day is a challenge (or maybe that's just me).

On Tuesday, Liza and I went to Lugazi with Martin to help with the Help International Students. The bummer was, they weren't really doing anything, so we just chilled the whole day. We didn't end up leaving until 8:30 (it was a long day)! Liza got to experience the public transport for the first time.... :) She was extremely lucky, because on the way back, we had about 26 people in the taxi which is normally only able to hold 14. Even I was shocked. That's not something that happens to you everyday....

The rest of the week was really a blur. I have been doing a lot of things for back home (which is already stressing me out, and we haven't even gotten home yet!). The other night, as I was lying in my bed, I was thinking about how much I really am going to miss it here. I was so sure, before coming, that I would just jump on the plane, and not even give a second glance back.... how wrong I was. Like my mom has said multiple times, "I love it here!! Let's not go back!" I'm not sure about the not going back, but I will be leaving a part of my heart here. I hope one day I can come and get it back. It is just so hard to explain! How I wish I could write my feelings down, but there isn't words to describe the life here. Sure, it has had it's downs, but this has become home!

On Thursday, we spent the entire day in Kampala. We had some errands to run in the morning, but once we were finished with those, we headed out to the zoo in Entebbe to meet up with Beth and David. I have to say, I was really impressed with the zoo. We had such a fun time!!! I mean, it's not like in zoo's back home you have monkeys running wild, and zebra's, ostrage's, and antalop all in the same area. That, and the only thing separating you from the lions is a 10ft moat and a 4ft fence... :) not scary at all! Also, we got to ride a camel! Wow... I'm not sure if I would want to ride one frequently. Let me tell you, it's not as easy as it looks. It was still fun though.

As you probably can tell, it has been so much fun!! It is so sad to think of the 4 remaining weeks. I will always treasure these memories and be grateful for this opportunity we had to come to live in Uganda Africa.
