Having experienced two of my most favorite things in the span of a week makes me feel very fortunate to be living in this crazy place, and I can tell you it was exactly what I needed. Are you tempted to come and visit yet?


(do you ever get the feeling that this blog is sponsored by the Ugandan tourism agency? I assure you I act on a completely independent basis and my only motive is to lure my favorite people to Uganda so I can spend some QT with them, and by them, I mean you. what are you waiting for?)


(I conveniently left out the part of this mini vacay that featured bats in our room, a broken shower and coffee that tasted like it might have been brewed in one of the muddy puddles that made the roads nearly impassible on this journey, but those things just make the trip a little more exciting, don't you think?)
