It's been almost a week in Uganda! Can't believe how time flies! Since our last post, we have been busy preparing for our workshops. Wednesday all 5 of us (minus one who was sick) ventured into Kampala with Aidan to get supplies for our workshop. It was a hot, dusty and at times very interesting journey. Kampala is a huge city marked by incredible traffic. It was a sea of buses, bikes and people all competing for road space. I have to give credit to our drivers, who not only got us there and back safely, but in great time! We also managed to stop at a grocery store where we picked up some more dinner supplies including Carla's long sought after cheese. We dropped Aidan off as she lives in Kampala and headed home.

Once home, we quickly realized that once again our hydro was out. It has almost become expected that at some point during the day we will be without power. Our dinner plans appeared to be ruin as we looked forward to a hot spaghetti dinner, however, Angela and I quickly discovered that the stove was gas, so no power needed! Armed with a match, tongs, headlamp and of course the gas, we successfully lit the stove! Dinner was revived!!! It was delicous. Viviane and Shannon arrived home and the 5 of us spent the night on the balconey chatting and laughing.

Today was a rather productive day. The morning was spent putting together the workshop binders and finalizing our plans for facilitating the workshops. It feels great to be getting a better grasp on what we are teaching and how the days are going to play out. Lunch was excellent as usual. After lunch all 6 of us decided to head to the Ngamba Island office to secure our visits and pay for them. This turned into a half day affair as the Visa machine was tempermental and there was a lot of information to be passed on. I have to admit that I am very excited for our visit to the Chimp Sanctuary at Ngamba Island. They have a great website if you wanted more information.

Power is on tonight, planning is complete and all in all everyone seems excited and ready to go! Carla and I head out tomorrow at noon (ish) for our canoe trek in Kabale. I am rather excited for this and ready to explore another part of Uganda. Hopefully there is internet access so we can keep you up to date!
