... or continent far enough to keep my brother and Kim from visiting me! After a delayed flight and much anticipation, Dave and Kim touched down to Uganda and where thrown into a 12-day Uganda-stravaganza. A whirlwind tour of the national parks with giraffe, elephants, hippo, crocs, and cranes, time at my site teaching kids ultimate Frisbee and bead making, hiking some waterfalls, partying in a cave and getting waterboarded by the Nile- ok, rafting, I sent the kids exhausted and likely smelly, back on a plane to the states. It was a blast having them here to show off this amazing country and its highlights and challenges. After they got over the culture shock, they picked up on all the local culture, and hopefully are still annoying you all back in America with calling everyone "muzungu" and demanding "you come", passive eye-brow raising, hmmming and "Ah HUH!" exclamations.A common question that other volunteers pose to visiting family and friends is "Has he/she changed at all?" Dave's response: "Nah- she just thinks she knows more" Thanks bro- right back at ya! Save up for Africa Round II!
