First night in Uganda

We stayed at the Entebbe guest house Terry had recommended so we could meet Kavita and Ruby when their plane landed in the morning. Spent a pleasant night with welcome rest.
In the morning, searching the faces at Arrivals I suddenly heard Judy's name being called. There was Lilliane come to greet us all! We met Lilliane in the summer of 2006 and are pleased that she is one of the 2 teachers at the NLP. When they arrived, Kavita and Ruby were exhausted but excited. The 5 of us took a "private hire" (sounds fancy - wasn't) to our hotel (sounds fancy - isn't) in Muyenga (just outside Kampala). Anny Nygoga was waiting to greet us. We met briefly and after a much needed rest Judy and I walked to Italian supermarket and found that the gelato there was as fantastic as Terry and Howard had described it.

Hi Kids,
I'm checking up on you. Things sound good. I'm off to see Joe's new house and help them move everything in. I won't have internet access until I get home on the 19th. Stay well, be careful, do good work and eat gelato for me.
Love,
Freyda

Glad you guys arrived save and sound.

Mia decided to change the book for the reading group. Now it's "the Last Lecture" - only 206 very small pages - by Randy Pausch.

Love from Evelynne and Moishe.
