Uganda Visit

It seems weekends are when the excitement occurs.  This past weekend I ended up in Uganda and enjoyed a very fantastic visit with my brother.  We stayed in a town called Kabale, about three hours from the Rwandan border.  The Thursday evening, when we arrived, we meet up with a friend and watched the news about Libya in a local restaurant.  On Saturday we went to Lake Bunyonyi and went canoeing in a dugout canoe, a first for both of us.  The lake and surrounding hills were beautiful and we enjoyed them for longer than anticipated as we got a little turned around while on the water.  We made it back safely though tired and a little redder than when we left.  In the evening we enjoyed a tasty supper of curry with our friend.  I am very much enjoying the Rwandan food but it was nice to have a little variety.  All in all the trip went well and it was so good to catch up with Anthony and hear about his studies and life in Kampala.  It was also very interesting to see the differences in culture, although Uganda and Rwanda share a boarder they are very different countries.  I hope in the coming months I will be able to see more of Uganda.  For now I will be remaining in Musanze and enjoying life here.
