hello hello!
Well, things have been going really, really well here now that we are back from homestays. We have gone into Uganda's capital, Kampala, a few times which has been such a treat. Yesterday, My friend Liz, also from Messiah, and I went and met up with our friend Marc, who just graduated from Messiah. He is in Uganda for 4 months working with Food for the Hungary while his fiance is in Spain. It was SO great to see him and just hang out. He took us to this INSANE market place that was so crowded and so crazy. It was a blast. i found some cool second hand clothes and some jewelry.
Last Saturday was also such a treat. We went into Kampala for my friend Kara's birthday. We went to lunch and all bought cheese burgers! Its amazing how good a burger can taste when you havent eaten any american food in over a month. It was heavenly. Later that night, one of the USP students here made an American dinner for all of us to celebrate the end of homestays (our just celebrate that we actually lived through them!) So Saturday, all of my 3 meals were American... the french toast and eggs i made for my host family, the cheeseburger, and country fried steak for dinner! that may have been the best day here! haha.
Today we are leaving for an Honours College Retreat... on campus we live with all African students who are in the honours programme here (yes british spelling) They are highly intelligent Africans with so much to offer us, so we as a group are all going on a retreat to Jinga (aka the source of the Nile where i went with my host dad two weeks ago) It should be a really great weekend. I hope you are all well... lemme know how everyone is doing.

Hey Kate,
Glad you got some American food. Was it at a McDonald's?? Why was Marc working for Food for the Hungary in Uganda? Don't they teach you geography at that school?
We are cold! It has been very cold for several days.
Enjoy your second trip to the source of the Nile. Think of us freezing while you are enjoying the Hot Heat.
Be well and happy.

Damn, you do more activities in a day in Uganda, than I do in week in New Jersey.(unless you count sitting on the couch and ordering pizza doing something). But its great to hear you're having and eating McDonald's. I had no idea Uganda even had a McDonalds.
Anyway, Jim is correct. It is freezing back here. Global warming...ha! Lets see Al Gore explain this. And yet there's no snow. So im freezing and at school trying to keep my mind off of freezing.
So i hope you continue having fun and...uhh...yea...have fun. That's all can think of at the moment.
PS. I just recently realized that i, Keith Obzut, am "fergilious"
oh man, im so jealous you got to see Marc! that's awesome though:)
