Sept 1.

hello again-Clearly I have not yet broken my internet umbilical cord...Yesterday was slightly exhausting, it was a lot of orientation "stuff." I did try goat meat twice, don't really know how to describe it...not bad. I dont think we are allowed to go gorilla trekking or rafting on the nile...I am very upset about this. One thing I failed to mention yesterday was that when we arrived at out hotel Wednesday night the power was out. I had to stumble up to the second floor of the hotel (no elevators...) while carrying towo packs on my back, my carryon strapped to my front, while holding a candle and trying to light a match..haha, oooh Africa...Apparently Uganda is powered by dams along the Nile, but Lake Victoria has dropped 2 meters ( i dont actually know how much that is, other than a lot), and they only actually have enough power for 1/4 of the demand. Rolling brownouts are typical, i just have to figure out what schedule i will be on.Sunday i get to meet my host family. I am really nervous. I know they have kids, but ages I am not sure. I want one to be about my age, so they can take me out and show me where people my age go, and what they do. If they aren't that will be ok though. The home is about 7-10 minutes outside the city center, but with traffic it may take up to 30 minutes. traffic is CRAZY. I have been almosr run over at least 7 times already today (sorry to tell you that mom). I have never seen anything like. And rules?!?! pssh, if you thought Europe was bad, its a cake-walk honeyTomorrow we are going to Jinga, which is near the Kenyan border (sort-of) I am not really sure what we will be doig there, but it will be exciting I am sure.Right now we are on our "missions." Me and another girl are in charge of investigating markets, specifically the Nakasoro Market. The amount of stares and gentlemen that approach us is amazing, and i have trouble keeping a smile on my face (we are supposed to be nice and polite)I need to find lunch soon.
