The Countdown Begins

I am back in Lira after a relaxing weekend back in Makindye staying with German Steffi #1. I stayed in my old bed, and while I shrugged off Steffi's initial offer to use her curtains as a comforter in light of the blanket shortage, I awoke freezing the second night and took up the offer. Uganda continues to be all about improvisation. And now I am in my final Lira days...

Upon my arrival in the office this morning, I learned that my "best friend" in Ogur Camp had again sent my colleagues with some gifts and his greetings. He gave me a big stick with a clumped head, which I am told is for cooking (and we all know how much of that I do). And as the staff were leaving the camp, he ran after the car, telling my colleagues that I would be hungry too, so he sent them with a pumpkin!

It is nice to be back in Lira and I only have a few days left with much to do. I will finally see Baby Kelly again, as she will make the journey from Gulu with her momma. I also hope to squeeze in another run with my groupees. Otherwise, the clock is ticking!
