I MADE IT!
A day and a half later than expected, but I type this sitting on my bed in the house I will be staying at for the next month.
It has been another long day, being up at 5:30 to get on my plane from Dubai, fly from there to Entebbe, and with a brief stop in Addis Ababa. Upon arriving in Entebbe I made it through customs and got my visa with out any problems. It probably had something to do with the $50 "mandatory bribe". I would have felt somewhat taken advantage of after this, but even more experienced travelers that I was talking to said that they paid today as well, its pretty standard.
I got picked up by two guys that do work with ARM, Joshua and Jackson. Joshua described his job as pretty much "driving here and there or everywhere", which is what he did. And he did it very, very well. The rules of the road are much more aggressive than back home (a gross understatement), so it's a good thing I won't be expected to drive.
Joshua Dropped me off at the house I will be staying at. It is Abby's house and she rents rooms to other people as well. I met Kathy and Blessed, two girls that live here, and have yet to meet the guy who lives here as well. I believe he is a pastor?
Speaking of pastors, on a side note, I was told that Francis Chan will be visiting with people out here and preaching in church soon.
It is very fortunate that Abby has a wireless internet card which will allow me to use the internet. I'm sure that my usage will be a lot less than the past week in Zurich and the airports, but I will be able to use it from time to time.
As soon as I am able to post this, I will be going straight to sleep. Hahaha I'm ridiculously tired, so tired I fell asleep for a few seconds or minutes three times while typing this.
Tomorrow morning I'm leaving with Abby to go to a nearby hotel where a good number, if not all, the ARM people will be at. This will be a perfect situation to meet everyone here and really dive into everything.
Pictures will be posted from a few days ago and whatever I will start taking of Uganda as soon as I get the chance. Miss and love all you guys!
