Arrival

I am finally in Africa…better yet, Uganda. The plane rides were all quite pleasant…typical plane food and lots of sleep. I got off the plane late in the night, went through customs, found my luggage successfully, found my driver/co-worker, journeyed down Entebbe Road to Kampala, and was dropped off safely at my new home. I woke up the next morning to pounding rain that only lasted a short while. After that my day began. First I ventured into the Kampala city center, with the company of my apartment manager and a driver. After returning, I was greeted by two soon-to-be co-workers of PROMETRA. I walked with them to PROMETRA headquarters, only 10 minutes from my apartment, where I had my first introduction and met the director of PROMETRA Uganda. Work will begin Monday! In the meantime I am simply adjusting to life in Uganda...a.k.a. overcoming culture shock. Well that is all for now! I must get some rest and shake-off the jetlag.....and fall asleep to the upbeat Ugandan music outside my window!
