The flight went well....food was great...only problem was the guitar has been delayed and Yvonne's TV wouldn't work (she is still complaining!). Charles kept out of trouble as the photo shows - he was enjopying Al Gore's book - but he got into trouble when he insisted on sharing it with us!We had a hairy drive from Entebbe into town (it took and Irish half hour due to lots of road works. Queen Elizabeth is arriving in November for a Commonwealth congress so the whole city is even more congested than usual! We have a super driver (Patrick) and an equally great Guide ( Keith) from Fields of Life with us all the time.
The day began with orientation with Denise's sister Louise (with some timely reminders) and then we met Kennedy who head up F of L. Next stop was the shopping centre at Garden City for cash, grub and the bare necessities.
Left is a flavour of the craic...Liz and Theresa getting into the spirit of things with the Ugandans in the Craft Village! Families and friends will be glad to know that plenty of purchases were made!We were fascinated by the mad traffic, the overloaded bikes (from sinks to bananas to turkeys!).
The weather is humid - we even brought the rain from Sligo last night - it woke up those who had managed to sleep through the revelling down town, the cockrel, the pots and pans and the dogs.

Sorry, had a typo in previous comment. Having taken one of the crew to meet the bus at "The Salmon", I'm glad your journey has gone well so far. Enjoy the time ahead and be very proud of the difference you're going to make. God Bless and, needless to say, "Up Sligo"!!
Well, don't you all look well on the plane, glad to see some smiling faces. Thinking and praying for you all, understand the 'real' work starts to-day.
The Teddies send special wishes to Canon Revd Aunty Liz.
Love and best wishes to you all from Anne, Michael and myself.
