Turn off your headlamp, you look like a tourist.

I've spent the last weekend in the southwest of the country with another trainee and current volunteer. This was the first piece of many useful tidbits of advice I received. It was a great trip and morale booster to be able to visit a community and see how a volunteer manages it all. We started with a lovely moonlit picnic and finished up with some guitar entertainment, provided by our hosts. I was able to experience a heated bucket bath which felt like a 45 minute bubble bath- soooo nice! A few of us are meeting up in Mbarara for the night before heading on back to training. Visiting the region where I will likely be placed provided a light at the end of the long training tunnel- granted it was not a headlight.
