yes yes

so, let me tell you a little about Uganda. The people are very nice and eager to be helpful. The food is very healthy and a meal is usually just a mixture of different fruits and vegetables. There are very few meals when you will eat meat or lots of grains. There are so many different kinds of fresh fruits. the pineapple is amazing to taste and is very fresh. You will probably have a meal with avocados twice a day. they cook their food au natural, and don't add all sorts of ingredients to it. It is usually boiled or baked. the driving is quite an experience and drivers keep left. it is a strange feeling to climb into a vehicle on the left side and not have a steering wheel in front of you. Also, there are very few roadsigns and traffic is terrible. People drive around with little or no regard for other drivers. alot of times you will have to keep your feet on the brakes so as not to crash. The mini buses are the worst. they will swerve right in front of you and then stop to let passengers on or off. Also motorbikes are everywhere and have a complete disregard for all other traffic. People are walking on both sides of the road and it is a very hectic time when you ride in the car. Because of the lack of proper road signs and driving laws the traffic is terrible and you will wait for hours in a traffic jam because there are no traffic lights. It is always an adventure.

More to come
Love,
luke
