It's that time again...

It's the end of the two month long "dry season" holidays--meaning that I am going back to the village (aka Nabwigulu) today!

  The weather in Uganda these days is hotter than I have ever experienced.It is actually the height of the dry season right now. Things are becoming brown, you can't walk outside without swirls of red dust rising up around you, and even all of my belongings inside the house tend to have a permanent layer of dust on them!

I was just thinking that I was not looking too forward to the long bike ride into the village, and it made me think about the challenges I had in Winnipeg in getting to Assiniboine!

Coming from River Heights to Assiniboine, my bus used to drop me off at Polo Park, and I would walk from there--not a big deal, most of the time. Sometimes however, in -40 weather with blowing snow!

I don't know which one I prefer--do any of you have a preference? Crazy heat or crazy snow?!

Anyway, enough of that, I am so excited to go and see all of the teachers and children. The beginning of a new school year is so exciting and there is a lot of energy in the air! Oh, and I cannot WAIT to show everyone the pictures that you have sent!
