i am going to miss this city. this country.
so much.
it's hard to know where to even begin. we flew for over 17 hours to be in africa for 6 days.
we found a house.
we met the people we'll be working with.
i remembered the smells of living in an over populated city with diesel pollution and people coming up to your car window wanting to sell you things and sitting in traffic for 2 hours. we sat in traffic a lot.
i have very mixed feelings.
in a way, it's good. i know what i'm going into and it's causing me to miss my familiar already. it's causing me to soak it all in before we leave. it's causing me to grieve.
i feel strongly that this is still where we're supposed to go, but there is an ache that i feel that wasn't there before.
i am scared. i am cautious. i am excited. i am happy and thankful for the house we found - my home for the next two years. i have so many questions and thoughts and things to find out before we go.
but
i still have peace.
at Murchison Falls
the African Queen going to the base of the falls
our future home. just kidding. it's a village we passed on safari.
i love giraffes.
So glad you found a house you love! And there are stresses to be sure about Kampala... but the people... the tropical weather... the restaurants... there is much to love. Have you read One Thousand Gifts??? It's been a help to me here already.
