Picture a city of over 7,000, 0000 people having what seems like 10,000,000 cars and ONE traffic light. That's Kampala. There we were, one afternoon last week, sitting in traffic with nowhere to g, when all of a sudden, a herd of long horn cattle came running through the turn about. They were on their way to slaughter.
Today in class, Ellen and I empathized with those cows. Joyce, the class' teacher was extremely sick, we suspect with malaria. The children took advantage of the situation just like kids anywhere and we lost control. It was an endless day.

O my! O my! It sounds too familiar! Like the day Olivia was 10 minutes late and Bob was meeting with Peter, and I was alone with 15 kids. There was I 40 years of experience as a teacher in child Psychiatry, a masters with specialty in educating socially and emotionally blah blah and panemonian broke out. Mynheart goes to you both. What are the plans if Joyce DOES have Malaris? Will Peter fin a "sub"? To be fair to Kampals, there ARE other street lights. We came across a few downtown.
Aunty Dee-
Sounds like you are having the adventure of a lifetime!! Wow, soak up every minute of it, from the off-the-wall kids, to the gushing rain and traffic and cows. Wow.
