FIRST BLOG FROM AFRICA

I finally got to the hotel in Uganda about 24 hours after I left.  I flew 7 hours to Amsterdam, had a 5 hour layover, and then flew 8 hours to Uganda.  I was very fortunate on the first leg of the trip to have 4 seats in the middle all to myself.  I laid there and watched The Dark Knight(I think I have seen it one too many times) and then slept for the rest of the trip.  I met up with Bob Goff the founder of Restore International in Amsterdam.  Also, 2 moms from Chicago joined us on the trip.

We had a 45 minute drive from the airport to the hotel and we almost died 14 times. No one follows the rules of the road over here.  It is a free for all.  We met a couple of the guys the work year round for Restore at the hotel.  They are really cool and truly making a difference over here.  I am looking forward to hanging out with them this week.  I was kind of told what we were going to do this week by Bob before we left America but the plan has completely changed.  All I know is that I am meeting everyone downstairs for breakfast at 8 am and it is midnight now and I am tired.  I guess I will find out tomorrow about our new plans.
