Today was Tim's birthday, we went to a restaurant in town and then a bar down the road from our house. He was sad he couldn't spend it with his friends back home, but happy to spend it with new ones.
All in all being in Uganda was a fantastic twenty fifth birthday.
Tomorrow is our first day at the children's home for children with disabilities. We are excited and nervous. We will hopefully volunteer there three days a week and at Tukula two days a week.
The pace of life here is so different. Being Americans we are used to rushing around and checking the time every five minutes, but here things are so much more relaxed. You get there when you get there, it gets done when it gets done. This kind of environment is definitely not going to help me and Tim's problem with punctuality back in the States. At least now when we get back we'll finally have an excuse to be late to everything...
We love and miss you all. But this is an adventure.
Google marabou stork- this is what nightmares are made of.
oh no! you were already horrible with punctuality before you left for Africa...
