New Guests
People here have started referring to my house as "Carl's Guest House" and this week I have two new guests. Katie and Nick are both Kiva interns who have come for a few months to visit Kiva's partners in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
I volunteered to pick them up at the airport and was able to go and spend a few days in Kampala before meeting the 5:45 am! plane. Luckily my alarm worked and we got there in time for their arrival. They had been travelling for two days, from chicago to london to Uganda with just an 8 hour layover in London. Of course arriving in Entebbe is just the start, we then had a 6 1/2 hour bus ride to Soroti. Katie is the first person I have ever seen who was able to sleep on the bus. We had the worst bus of the lot and hit every pothole and bump but still she slept!
And as has become our custom we had a huge feast at Moses's house that evening.
